No log entries, and SysRq keys have no effect - The power button is the only option in this case. Just for giggles, I tried 2.4.10-ac6, which survived a brutal round of dbench testing with no problems. I also tried the roswell (2.4.7) and rawhide (2.4.9) kernels from Red Hat, and they are both rock solid as well in this testing. more info on request - cu jjs - 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/
