I installed the 2.4.3 enterprise kernel that comes with LM8.0. When I do su 
inside a shell, the system hangs completely. I can see a few pixels blinking 
on the X screen. This however dosn't happen if i ssh to the machine from 
another and do a su. Any ideas why this is happening? This did not happen in 
the regular kernel. Also, here is the output from /var/log/messages at the 
point of hanging. Its basically garbage!
