So I tried out 2.4.20-ck4 on my server box, which continually leans towards the experimental because, well, it seems to work fine.
For 13 days, everything was peachy. Then on the 14th morning I wake up and dhcp3-server is not responding timely, since my laptop is unable to acquire an IP address automatically. I serial in and init has gone D and is eating 99.8% of the CPU.
Every single process under init was DEFUNCT!
New processes also were defunct as well, after being started. I guess bash was somehow not affected when I logged in.
I can't provide a dmesg, since the machine eventually stopped responding and I had to hard reboot it. But unless I know for sure what's going on soon, I'll need to move back to a vanilla kernel or perhaps try out 2.4.20aa, without the rest of the 'desktop' tuning stuff that I don't really make use of.
Sorry I can't give much info, except possibly my .config. You can get it at http://triplehelix.org/~joshk/linux/config.gz. If this happens again I'll be sure to get some pstree output logged somewhere. (Would slabinfo be useful too in this kind of situation?)
Regards Josh
