One thing I can do that reliably causes a problem is 'makewhatis'. If I run makewhatis on this machine, it hangs. After that, attempts to run 'ps' or 'ls /proc/<pid>' on the pid associated with the makewhatis hang as described. I've also started to see occasional hangups on boot. These may happen at various points in the process. Still no clue what might be causing it. Changing BIOS setting from 'optimal' to 'normal' has no effect. Any clues on what else to look for would be mightily appreciated. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@clemson.edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
