yes, we narrowed it to the samba ldap client package. When we unistalled that package 
we never had the problem since.

Do you know what specifically triggers the problem? I was just asked if we
could do samba.....

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.

Hi all,

Anybody seen the following conditions :-

o VM linux guest hangs. No response to ssh or at 3270 console. Pings
from other servers (external and internal) ok though (?)
o VM CPU @ 100%.
o No VM paging.
o VM guys say linux is "looping".

zSeries 800/SLES8 SP2

Would a linux guest memory issue cause this?
