Hi there - just a quick observation. Are you using the right kernel for your machine?

2.4.21-166-smp4G

AFAIK this is a kernel built for Symetrical Multiple Processor machines. If you only have one CPU in your machine, try the default kernel to see if that works ok. 2.4.21-168-default Regards - Keith Roberts On Sun, 25 Jan 2004, Mario Neubert wrote:

hello list,

has anyone seen such behaviour? My new server hangs after some network/firewall related tasks and the only solution is a hard reset. Memory-test has no failure. I don't know what is it. How I can find out the problem. Please read the logfile, to discover what's happened. I have grep'ed some lines before/after the syslogd restart (the first line after reboot). Mostly hangs happends on this machine during ssh connects but not only. The Server is a Celeron-2GHz/512MB/SuSE9.0 ...
