Hello list, one of my servers hang today with a kernel panic. After rebooting the system I checked the logfiles but couldn't find any hint. Then I've started yast and chose the runlevel-editor. When the runlevel-editor began checking the status of the process listed in init.d the script "ifstatus-route" began eating up all of my cputime. The system almost froze for one or two minutes, but after that I could continue to work with yast (and on the system...). I'm running SuSE 8.0, kernel 2.4.18-4GB with the latest security patches applied. any ideas ??? 9:52pm up 10 min, 2 users, load average: 1.71, 0.88, 0.41 68 processes: 65 sleeping, 3 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 79.1% user, 20.8% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle Mem: 513448K av, 507708K used, 5740K free, 0K shrd, 11728K buff Swap: 1052248K av, 0K used, 1052248K free 431168K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 4443 root 0 0 1900 1900 1140 R 99.9 0.3 2:00 ifstatus-route Thanks and bye, Gunther
