Subject: BUG: 2.4.23-pre3 + ifconfig
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 20:05:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030904180554.GA21536@oasis.frogfoot.net> (raw)

Hi!

I just installed 2.4.23-pre3 on one of our servers. If I up/down the
loopback device multiple times ifconfig hangs on the second down (as in
unkillable) and afterwards ifconfig stops functioning and I can't reboot the
machine, etc.

No oopses, kernel panics, messages or anything. The system is still alive,
it is just as if some system call is hung.

If anyone is interested, I can send my .config or any other relevant details.

Regards
 Abraham
