Re: smp 13xx kernels with hung processes

[Anne & Lynn Wheeler <lynn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

del poweredge 2400 with hardware raid (six real scsi drives), dual 1ghz 
processors, 1gbyte memory ... originally shipped from dell w/rh7 installed,

smp 13xx kernels started having hung problems problems. 1381 seems to be 
somewhat better ... it took some amount of time longer before it hung. 
then i tried to logoff and also do cntrl-alt-bckspc ... which then had 
everything locked and had to do hardware reset butto to reboot back to 
1276 smp kernel (which hasn't had any such problems).

stress is mozilla clicking on a couple tab folders that have nearly 200 
total urls ... and a couple other things. earlier 13xx kernels could 
hang before kde initialization was completed and/or early in kicking off 
the 200 tabbed urls. 1381 seemed to get several minutes futher before it 
locked up.
