What state is the process in? If it's in an "Uninterruptible sleep" (D) mode then it won't die/continue until it gets whatever I/O it's expecting. If it doesn't (e.g. there's something wrong with the device it's held on to) then you'll probably have to reboot. http://linuxgazette.net/issue83/tag/6.html -- Albert W.
