J7F4K - Hard Lockups
I ran some more long rsync tests (from one external eSata to an external USB) last night starting at 11pm. It looked as though everything was fine, but sometime past midnight (I can tell from the --mark-- in the syslog file) it locked up. I don't find any information in the serial console I have hooked up or in the log files. The system becomes unresponsive to anything - the ps/2 keyboard (even the kernel ALT+PRINTSCREEN commands), pings, etc. It is as if the whole I/O system is down. The funny thing is that I can see the Ethernet port lights flashing sometime, so I know at some level the system is still alive.
I'm going to try again to see if I can capture any more information. My vendor said something about a version 2 vs. version 3 of the motherboard. If I can't sort out something by Friday, this board goes back... I'll try to get an Intel Pentium M or AMD and enable the CPU frequency stepping to save Watts.
