This looks like the kernel deadlocks. That, or one of your services is running wild and the machine just _feels_ like it's not responsive. One way to debug this is to enable the sysrq key (see /usr/src/linux-*/ Documentation/sysrq.txt), switch the machine to a console, and wait for it to hang (you may have to experiment with klogconsole before the sysrq output actually shows up on the console).
THanks for your reply. Does a kernel-update to the new kernel (yesterday announcend) hopefully solve this kind of problem?! Can this be done on a maschine which has no physical access, only ssh-access ?! cheers Stephan -- Stephan Holl GnuPG Key-ID: 11946A09 11:45:55 up 4:44, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.03, 0.00
