I'm having this same error like 2 times per month, with srcds/hlds servers. I can only ping the machine but ssh, http, ftp won't work. People can join to the gameservers but they get freeze at mapchange for about 30mins. Sometimes I got luck and I manage to access to SSH. I checked the system load and it was 100+. 'reboot' command wasn't working so i did a 'killall hlds_i686 srcds_i686 srcds_i486' and the machine got unstuck and all worked fine again.
strange, isn't it? I think that the problem is related to giving RT priority to the gameservers or maybe the kernel config (i'm using the one in fragaholics.de wiki in CentOS) -Rodrigo Joshua Smith escribió: > I have experienced this EXACT behavior on several machines, all running > debian lenny 64bit.
