Hello! > I'll reboot the box now. Any ideas on what THAT could have been? It loops in kernel doing schedule(), apparently. Just make Alt-Sysreq-p several times to see where it loops. I know only one place, where it is theoretically possible (when closing socket), but I cannot exclude some another hole. All the things (lossy ping) point that you are out of memory yet. Alexey - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
