Hi all! I've been having problems with Linux the last months, but now I have isolated the problem: Linux hangs.
1) I thought it was the kernel but it hangs with 2.0.34, 2.0.35 and 2.2.1 2) Then I thought it was the memory but memtest (package sysutils) says it is OK. 3) Then I thought I was being attacked with a DNS, but I read about them and kernel 2.2.1 should stop teardrop, winnuke, etc. 4) Then somebody told me that maybe only X hanged and I could access my machine from outside: I checked that I couldn't telnet/ftp/http my machine from outside 5) Now, one of my users connected from outside via ftp and began uploading a file of more than 3 Mb. He tried it three times, and my machine hanged three times (one hang, one boot, one hang, one boot, one hang, one boot, I denied access to this user, no hangs) WHAT IS HAPPENING? I love Linux but my friends laugh at me when I tell them that Linux hangs. -- Conrado Badenas (Assistant Lecturer) Department of Thermodynamics. University of Valencia c/.
