Is this an older box? I've seen the hangcheck warnings on a 486 I was using as a firewall/router -- ultimately I applied a patch to set HZ to 100 and the problem went away. I *think*, once that patch bitrotted, that I just turned off the hangcheck timer, but I can't remember for sure. If you turn off the hangcheck timer, does the problem go away (i.e. no more lockups)? -- Joseph Fannin jfannin@gmail.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
