The unpatched kernel shows the hangs much earlier, so I assume that the above patches solve the problem. With the patches the load goes up very slowly but steady to "100" and I/O does not freeze anymore. vmstat and iostat still show activity. I assume you don't need any sysrq-t output now. Will the patches be included in 2.4.21? Bernhard
