Ideas, anyone? I don't even know how to find out which process it was (i 
have a general idea, due to the fact that I tried to kill services, and 
some of them hung).
   

cat /proc/$PID/cmdline?
 

hangs. Tried that. The fact that 'ls' works, and 'ls -la' hangs suggests 
to me this has to do with the filesystem. Alas, (or joy), the machine 
works after the reboot, so I cannot test this theory.

No sysreq. No NFS (I know NFS is rife with uninterruptable sleeps). I 
don't know about SIS, I'll check. About serial consol - anyone has a 
RJ-45 to D9 serial cable?

df -h doesn't show any problem

any chance a kernel update will prevent this from recurring? (currently 
2.4.18-8 from woody)
