Netra X1 strange lock up Debian 3.1, kernel 2.6.12.3

2005-09-05 Thread William Herrin
I'm getting a wierd partial-lockup under Debian 3.1 (sarge) on a Netra X1 with a 2.6.11.3 kernel compiled fresh from the sources. The system will run fine for several weeks. Then it will refuse to run new shells. Running daemons will continue to run but an attempt to start a new shell will fail.

The box is up for weeks on end you say? But you have no swap added. Could it be linux's 2.6 MM refusing to spawn a new shell due to low mem? William Herrin wrote: I'm getting a wierd partial-lockup under Debian 3.1 (sarge) on a Netra X1 with a 2.6.11.3 kernel compiled fresh from the sources.
