Hello David, Problem is our host is hangs for good and only ipmi reset can help in this case. We tried several kernels (upstream, mainline, old stable) even tested other distributions to no avail. Do you know if I can look at anything particular in debug logs to more closely identify problem? Regards, Alex.
