Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-686 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch2 Severity: normal
My system keeps hanging every week or so. If I manage to catch it before hanging, I notice that the kernel thread pdflush is in D state and likewise some other processes. Below is a trace I got from alt-sysrq-t . I'm still not sure how to relibely reproduce this one.
