I have RH8.0 (with all updates) installed on an Athlon/Asus A7V. I findOne thing I can do that reliably causes a problem is 'makewhatis'. If I
after some time that I am unable to run the ps command. Running ps
freezes the console or terminal it's run on. Once this has happened, if I
attempt to shut the machine down, it hangs after stopping the RHN daemon
and has to be reset.
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.
Check for file corruption using rpm -V, especially if your hard drive is not on a standard ide controller, specifically HighPoint. --I am pretty sure there is a bug in the HighPoint driver causing file corruption but I can't nail it down, might just be my hardware.
Might simply be makewhatis barfing on UTF8 problem but check the file system.
