I do not have an extensive Linux background, but you could call me "intermediate" I guess.
I have Red Hat Enterprise 4 for a work application. I needed to (and did) build 10 systems with the following:
2x E5345 2.33 Xeon
Intel S5000XVN-SAS
8GB Kingston Value RAM
2x 500GB HDDs in RAID 1 via mdadm
GeForce 7950
So my problem is this: I have 3 of these systems hooked to a router right now. When I have eth1 enabled (the ethernet port which is connected), the computer runs insanely slow. I waited 5 minutes for a terminal to come up. When eth1 is disabled, the entire system runs perfectly.
The drives are partitioned with 16GB of swap space each, also in RAID1. During boot, "enabling swap space" fails, even though the fstab is set up properly. This happens with or without eth1 being enabled within the OS.
If anyone has heard of this problem, or knows the best community to go ask (IRC or somthing maybe, anything goes) I'd be very grateful.
