Hi LuVar, You could use 'echo w >/proc/sysrq-trigger' to look at which process has been deadlock. # echo w >/proc/sysrq-trigger (WARN: you need a root privilege) # dmesg | vim - SysRq : Show Blocked State task PC stack pid father Here is nothing because my system hasn't any deadlock. Then you could use 'echo t >/proc/sysrq-trigger' to dump current tasks and their information. That would be great if you could paste these details in mailing list. They are very useful for us to dig this problem.
