[Tonatiuh]

Red Hat Enterprise linux 3 on Itanium2.

This text repeats hundred of times in /var/log/messages

Nov 3 06:56:02 Ita1 kernel: usb-ohci.c: bogus NDP=255 for OHCI usb-00:02.0
Nov 3 06:56:02 Ita1 kernel: usb-ohci.c: rereads as NDP=255
Nov 3 06:56:02 Ita1 kernel: usb-ohci.c: bogus NDP=255 for OHCI usb-00:02.1
Nov 3 06:56:02 Ita1 kernel: usb-ohci.c: rereads as NDP=255

Any idea?

Tis other text appear once and then the last text (about usb-ohci) continues appearing hundred of times more...

After this the server restarts by itself.

From the fast search that I did, it seems a problem with the code in the kernel. If you do not use USB, you can try disabling it by removing the lines in /etc/modprobe.conf and adding "nousb" to the kernel boot options. Edit /etc/grub.conf to add this option.

RHEL uses 2.4.x kernel and it may not compiled with USB support. If you have the source in /usr/src/linux-2.4.xx, try compile it again with all necessary options enabled.

This servers (two) have been working well during almost a year. The problem appears after a reboot. Is it possible that th eproblem has been there all the time ahd appears in two servers at same time? why it appears in two servers at same time in a certain moment?
