We're seeing occasional issues with a bunch of machines we have in a datacenter, most of which are currently running Gentoo. The machines will run solid and fine for days, weeks, even months, and then just lock up solid - the box still pings and an nmap scan shows all the normal ports open, but nothing responds on any port, nothing shows up in system logs, and the times we've had console access to a machine at the time, a login prompt would show up, but it would just hang if you tried to log in.
I've been having this same problem on a Sun E4500 (8 processor) for about 9 months now. Running 2.4.29 kernel currently. The uniprocessor Sun boxes I have don't seem to have the problem.
