Problems with disk + network on 2.6.25.11-60.fc8
From: David Stuart
Date: Mon Aug 04 2008 - 13:45:59 EST
Hello everyone,
I have trawled the depths of the Internet, scoured the innermost reaches
of the Usenet, and finally I arrive, beaten and bruised, at the steps to
the Linux kernel mailing list, to seek advice from the penguins
themselves. I humbly prostrate myself .. :)
My first request: Please CC me directly on replies as I am not
subscribed to the list.
Now to the meat of it; I have been experiencing a lot of trouble with
system freezes; but these are not crippling freezes in the sense that
they come back after a few seconds. They are always accompanied by the
following log in /var/log/messages:

Now, I know what you're thinking, this problem has been reported a lot
already. But, as I mentioned I have done a lot of searching online
looking for answers. There are a number of posts which seem like related
problems, especially if you search Google for "Exception emask". Most of
these suggest a work-around of putting the following boot options:
noapic acpi=off
Let me assure you already that this workaround did not fix my problems.
Nor does the flag "combined_mode=libata"; which was suggested elsewhere.
Another post suggests that smartd is the culprit; not only do I have the
latest version of smartd (which was supposed to fix the issue), but even
if I disable smartd I still see the same problem.
Yet another post indicates a problem with CD-ROM firmware. I have tried
disconnecting my CD-ROM from the system, swapping it with another, all
to no avail.
Yet another another post suggests that the skge (or its predecessor) was
to blame; so I replaced the network card with another I have, using the
8139cp driver. I still see the same problem.
Somewhere around this point, I gouged out my eyes and tore out my hair.
Thank goodness I am good at touch-typing.
What I have noticed, is that I only receive this exception (which seems
related to disk activity) when my machine is under heavy NETWORK LOAD;
i.e. when I am downloading the latest kernel (to pick a random example).
If there is no network activity the machine seems to be fine.
The hard drive which experiences the problems is running off a Maxtor
Ultra100 IDE controller card (promise-based). It's possible that this is
the culprit, but I am having a hard time moving the drive off this card
because I have setup my main partition using LVM (possible, but
non-obvious). I upgraded its firmware just in case, but that didn't help.
I do not believe that the drive itself has hardware problems because it
behaves fine when network traffic is not present. Also I did not notice
this problem until I upgraded to Fedora 7, which I believe was the first
Fedora distro to change the way the hard drives were represented (from
the old /dev/hdx system). I also use the following hdparms on the drive:
hdparm -S 120 /dev/sdb
At some point I thought this was the problem, but through trial and
error I believe it is OK. However it is possible that my sleuthing
abilities in this department are not up to snuff.
I am looking for any advice which will help me to workaround the
problem. I am not a kernel developer but I am fine with advanced system
configuration. I just want to have my smoothly running Linux box back again.
What follows is the usual system information:
