Hi All, I've been running a new node for week or so.
The Box seems to work fine for a few hours , then an error occurs and the box is extremely slow to respond and can't recover.
At this point it stops reporting too.
It he CLI prompt this is the error reported:
ERROR[5473]: chan_usbradio.c:1803 usbradio_read: HID process has died or something!
The only way to get things going is to shut down the computer and reboot, then things are ok again
for a few more hours.
Any thoughts on what this might be?
Is it a hardware failure or software?
What I have done so far is to change the nic card - doesn't fix the problem.
Moved the usb fob from the USB 2.0 PCI card to an internal usb port on the mother board - no change.
Thinking of replacing hard drive and new fr4eash install with latest ACID CD.
I'm not worried about this as its a new installation anyway. The box is a IBM P4 3Gig with 1 gig of mem.40 G drive.
It is a referb unit so its not new.
You might have the issue I am working on at this moment.
What distribution did you install?

This sounds to me like a problem in the PC itself.
This is a shot in the dark: the APIC's on on some PC's are flaky under
linux.
You could try adding noapic to the kernel boot line in /etc/grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda1
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-92.1.13.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 ro noapic root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-92.1.13.el5.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-53.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.img
I have an IBM box which does has to have this done in order to stay
working. The groub.conf above is from that box.
