Subject: time function problems with 2.2.18 / hang
Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2000 16:24:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20001222162447.A657@fuji.laendle> (raw)
I have an error that occurs after upgrading from 2.2.18pre23 to 2.2.18 +
vm-global-7 patch.
Apart from enhanced stability in low-memory cases (hey, it doesn't
freeze ten times a day ;), I have the problem that once every few days,
preferably under high load, X behaves strangely (window manager shows no
reaction, mouse works OR mousecursor stops moving OR wm works, mouse works
but rxvt's stop working tc..)
When this happens I can still log-in via the network and run command, but
every copmmand that uses waits (select(0,0,0,xxx) or nanosleep) just hangs:
cerebro:~# strace -f sleep 1
...
nanosleep({1, 0},
Also, when I beep the terminal it starts beeping but never stops, so it
seems the timer system inside the kernel is somehow wrecked in this state.
Doing while :;do kill -CONT -1;done lets me do some things, like runing top
or kill and restart X (very slowly ;).
That is the strangest thing I ever saw in a release kernel ;)
