For those of you who have no idea what Muli is talking about (you're in good company), have a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt . Short explanation: You press some magic button combination, and info goes out the console and log file. You press the wrong combination, your system reboots uncleanly right away.Usually, you'll see a processes in an uninterruptible sleep represented as 'D' in ps. Since you say they are 'R', please do magic-sysrq-t to see where in the kernel they are.
As for what Muli asked about (I think):
Dec 25 18:32:47 localhost kernel: artsd R current 4452 11005 1 11015 (NOTLB)
Dec 25 18:32:47 localhost kernel: Call Trace: [<c0109ea8>] [<d0ee7f7f>] [<d0eea0d1>] [<c0135d2d>] [<c0142f62>]
Dec 25 18:32:47 localhost kernel: [<c0134cdd>] [<c0134d33>] [<c0108923>]
What does it tell us, doc?
And now let's look at /proc/11005/status. As can be seen below in "SigPnd", signal number 9 is pending (as are 14 and 15 from my previous attempts). Signal 9 pending???
