Dear All.

I'm a graduate student of 'Information and Communications Univ.' in Korea. 
In our Lab., we built diskless clustering system with Intel L440GX+ board. 

Our system used Linux kernel 2.2.13 and LAM-MPI 6.3.2.
By the way, during the test, the system made unexpected troubles.

The MPI-test program has only two communications (that means it has 'EP' style).
(1. distribute data(in beginning part), 2 collect result data(in endding part)).
It uses only a little memory, but has many loop operations. 

With a few iteration, it works well, but when we increase the number of loop operations 
for solving some difficult problems, a node displays error message as follow, and then 
it is downed.

Please~~, tell us the hint to solve this problem.

p.s. Our system are consist of
-------------------------------
L440GX+ (Dual Pentium III 550MHz, 24 cluster nodes, each node doesn't have a disk, it use server's RAID),
Compaq  Proliant 1600 server (Dual Pentium III 600MHz , server),
Serial HUB (Comtrol Rocketport),
Fast Ethernet Hub (3com ),
108 GB RAID



Your quick reply will be highly appreciated.
Best Regards.
