The stack > trace was the same. then you are hitting a different bug or a bug related to the issues Christian Klose and me and $tons of others were complaining. The bug you are hitting might be the problem with "process stuck in D state" Andrea Arcangeli fixed, let me guess, over half a year ago or so. In case you have a good mind to try to address your issue, you might want to try out the patch you can find here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.4/2.4.21rc2aa1/9980_fix-pausing-2 ALL: Anyone who has this kind of pauses/stops/mouse is dead/keyboard is dead/: speak _NOW_ please, doesn't matter who you are!
