Hi,
Starring:
SMP system (2x PIII-550 PIIX4, SCSI/Adaptec)
PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse port (without mouse).
Kernel 2.2.16-pre1
(untar 2.2.14, apply 2.2.15p19, then p20,
then 2.2.16pre1).
Active modules: ISDN, HiSax.
Slackware 7.0 (libc6); gpm v1.17.8
Running processes: Apache, sshd, and usual bunch
(including gpm) except of NFS stuff.
After booutp everything was fine, then I decided to kill out
gpm (useless - I've no mouse connected). And... It hangs.
Just hangs. Keyboard input is accepted on console where
kill was issued, but not on other consoles.
SysRq is accepted on all active consoles, but it cannot
kill processes nor sync/unmount filesystems.
No Oops, no messages. No additional infos. Problem is reproducible -
next reboot and kill of gpm - and it hangs again.
I am afraid to remove gpm from startup scripts - what if it
will hang on startup? :)))
That's all. Just facts, no opinions :)) Sure, additional info
will be made available if it is really necessary (but I am not
sure it is).
/Al
