Here is some more information about what we had discovered after talking with SuSE. This problem was never resolved.
Just an update on the bug found yesterday. I just got off the phone talking with Novell's SUSE support department and we were able to narrow down which package was causeing the conflict with the openldap2-client library. Samba-2.2.8a has a service called nmb which is the netbios service, which has hooks in the openldap2 library files. We were able to narrow down to the service nmb when it is started it causes a loop process to start in the kernel process ksoftirqd_CPU0. This investigation has been sent off to the Development labs at SUSE in Germany. They will either find a fix for the current package and send that out globally, send us a beta version of SLES 9 (which is on beta 2 right now), or they will have us wait until SLES 9 is released. Another option is to download the Samba 3.0 binaries and compile it for our platform ourselves, which would go out of the support bounds for SUSE. -Cameron Seader -----Original Message----- From: Troyski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 07:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Guest freeze Hi all, Anybody seen the following conditions :- o VM linux guest hangs.
