Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2003 12:13:52 +0100 Message-Id: <20030309111352.B013320EB5@dungeon.inka.de> From: aj@dungeon.inka.de (Andreas Jellinghaus) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org With 2.5.64 vm I need to reboot my machines after a few days. My laptop works fine, my server/gateway deadlocks when the shutdown kills several processes. The gateway has an older processor (p2 vs. p3), some additional netfilter stuff, ipv6 support (unused), and ppp with pppoe and a different network card (rtl8139). So I guess it might be the pppoe stuff causing the trouble. How can I find out more about it? ctrl-sysreq lists all processes and several are in __down stuff. Would it be usefull to write down that notes and mail it to l-k? Or is it possible to dump that to a file? Andreas
