Hi Everyone,
I recently upgraded the hardware in my ASL box from a PII to a PIII with a SuperMicro mobo running the infamous Intel Camino (820) chipset. Previously I had been running Windows Server 2003 on this box with no hiccups, so when the Windows box got upgraded, it became the ASL box.
An irritating problem showed up, though, once I got it installed...ASL would lock up every once in a while and have to be rebooted. Under light load, it wouldn't happen as often, but under higher load, it would only take about 10 minutes to crash...outbound and inbound traffic would cease, the web interface wouldn't come up, and SSH wouldn't respond either, so the only thing to do was hit the button and reset it.
The hardware of the system is as follows:
SuperMicro 820 mobo (it has the memory controller to run SDRAM)
128MB x 2 PC 133 SDRAM
PIII 450MHz (Katmai)
2x Linksys 10/100 NICS (v5.1 I beleive)
Maxtor 90576D4 6GB HDD
All the hardware is the same as it was before, except the mobo and CPU...with was a generic TX chipset mobo with a PII 350. That setup had been running rock solid for probably 5 or 6 months straight with zero problems.
I'm obviously using ASL as my firewall, forwarding HTTP/HTTPS traffic to my web server, and then I was also running the HTTP proxy, SMTP proxy, & intrusion detection, so not too much.
Does anyone know if there are known issues with this chipset or CPU? If so, is there a fix in v5?
Thanks in advance,
John
