I got a report from someone who experienced lockups when using gentoo-embedded built system (2.6.14-hardened-r1)
He managed to reproduce it on 2 different computers by doing this: install openssh get an ip address using dhcpcd # create a network stream ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd if=/dev/urandom" > /dev/null wait a while read something from cdrom. Now the box locks up: > Box locked up - no kernel panic, no messages, keyboard's locked up - > no more activity on the net interface lights. When he uses dropbear & udhcpcd it works? > Looks like it may be openssh or dhcpcd related. ?! > dropbear & udhcoc doing the same thing has been running for more than > an hour, no problems. I have not been able to reproduce it. I wonder if anyone here have experienced something similar? Only lockups I have experienced have been lockups after some time of no activity at all. Booting with "noacpi" fixes that. (but i still dont know why it happens) The kernel config used are here: http://tanael.org/Config-2.6.14-hardened-r1 -- Natanael Copa -- [email protected] mailing list
