Hello,

I have suse 9.3 on Athlon64 box and see strange system freezes.
System is running as nfs- and ftp-server (vsftpd)
when I connect from another machine with lftp, I can change into the 
directory, do ls -al etc. but as soon as I fire a "mirror -vv" the 
server freezes hard! Cursor stops blinking, unable to switch tty, no 
ssh access, no ctrl-alt-del etc... Alt-SysRq-b is the "softest" way to 
get out of this.
The funny thing is: if I ssh into the box before starting the 
ftp-session, everything is fine!

Same problem with NFS!
Tried it again and again and again ... absolutely reproducible!
Disabled acpi 2.0 / apm / apic in BIOS, even stopped rcpowersaved, 
because I found some article about this ... but no luck.

So I setup a second box with exactly the same hardware configuration 
(just slightly different PSU, but still 550W) and yes: I get the same 
behavior.

Any idea ?
I really appreciate any of your help!

Best regards,
 Burkhard
