Hi Will,
I got a repeat today, and it looks to me very much like the bug you
pointed out, but this time with the i686 kernel. I spotted it when I
tried to run "kolour lines", it produced a hourglass cursor in the
task bar, and then refused to come up at all. When I run 'ps aux', it
turned out that I had klines and a whole bunch of processes in D
state, and then when I tried to shut the system down, I had the same
problem with being unable to unmount '/'. The 'ps aux' output is
attached, and I will add a comment to the bug report. Do you know if
there is a safe kernel version for me to downgrade to in the meantime?
My current 'uname -a' output is
Linux pcmdzikovs 2.6.22.9-0.4-default #1 SMP 2007/10/05 21:32:04 UTC
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Thanks,
Myrosia
