[hobbit] Status Unavailable - again

Stefan,

I don't know if this is your problem.  I just suggested it as a
possibility for you to consider.  I originally saw random lockups on a
BB system after upgrading from Redhat 7 to (8 or 9, I don't remember).
I thought this might be possible on other versions or distributions as
well.   

The solution in my case was to either:  

1) Down-grade the compiler to match the OS .
2) Recompile the kernel.
3) Change OS versions (sounds like you may have tried this).

I hope this helps in some way.  Good luck on your problem.

Jeff

Hello Jeffery,

do you think we see this issue because the kernel was built with a
different 
compiler than I was using for building the hobbit server?

@Henrik - do you think this could be the problem?

Regards,
Stefan
