I had this since I changed from mdk 8.1 (w/o any problems for more than
half a year) to mdk 8.2.
I start X11/KDE 2.2.2 as normal user, opening a few consoles in KDE
(maybe a browser; suddenly certain processes stop working.
Even switching out of X to text console doesn't stop this. I start
looking at various status information; soon all is frozen -- very few
chances to do real-time diagnostics.
Shutdown hangs too, very early on, or doesn't even start.
'ps -ef' hangs between X11 and KDE start (!) -see clips below.
CPU load goes up to 5.x for no (good) reason.
I had that on my original ext2 partition (which got trashed at one
crash), and now on a new installation on ext3 (nicer for reboot -but
that's not what I expect from a 'nix OS)-:
At a first glance I didn't see anything obvious in the logs (but may have
overlocked things at a 1st glance)
Any tips or comments? .................. Horst
