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.
