I am running the original golden release (july '90) on the RISC6000 &
experiencing numerous problems:
1) First and foremost is a system crash with the message "Data
Storage Proc - Interrupt" when X is running along with a data
communications product. Anybody else having problems running other
products with X?
2) Occasionally, a shell command will just hang on accessing
a particularly directory. When I go to another window & do a ps,
I can see the command sitting on a particular WCHAN code. If I do
any other access to this directory, that process also hangs with
the same WCHAN code. Everything else continues to run fine. The
only way I have found to clear this condition is to reboot the
machine.
3) Has anybody out there loaded any of the update releases for the
RISC6000? Are they worth the effort at this time?
Please mail any responses to the following net address
and I will post any useful information.

Are they worth the effort at this time? if you have july AIX V3.1, you already have loaded an update. some of the problems you describe sound familiar in older releases. give your support team a call and they will tell you if those problems have been corrected. >Please mail any responses to the following net address >and I will post any useful information. you really need to contact your IBM support team. the net is a wonderful resource for some things, but this is not one of them. -- John F.

Anybody else having problems > running other products with X? We complained about this, and sent in a few crash dumps. One machine crashed 6-8 times very sporadically over a period of a few months. The person I spoke to asked if there was large NFS mounted filesystems on the machine having this problem. There was in this case and they sent us a patched /etc/nfs.ext (I think) file, and we haven't had a recurrence of this problem. Not sure if this patch was folded into the new releases. The error log message is not too informative in my opinion, but that's true in general for kernel error messages. -- Disclaimer: I didn't do it.

You really should get the latest updates. I don't recall if any of them solved your roblem, but with over 150 bug fixes on the latest updates in almost every area of the system I think it's very likely that one of the bug fixes/enhancements will be useful to you.

Why don't you pursue this about the RISC6000.
Thanks.
