Hi, I think I have experienced the same problem. I don't have time now to investigate it further, but I have some info which may or may not be useful in debugging. So this is mainly just FYI. I have three UML instances running on a host. First, they all were unresponsive simultaneously using all CPU time they could get. After a while they became responsive again. I could log in through SSH. The funny thing is that the date command showed correct date and time (as far as I remember, can't test it now as they are hung again) while the time in bash prompt was constant showing the time around the initial hang, which is the same on all three instances. I think there was some NTP related activity on the host while this happened. The time the UMLs were showing was 23:xx:xx, don't know exactly. :( --- May 13 22:58:56 retiisi ntpd[20630]: synchronized to 192.26.119.7, stratum 2 May 13 22:58:56 retiisi ntpd[20630]: time reset -5.151310 s May 13 22:58:56 retiisi ntpd[20630]: kernel time sync enabled 0001 May 13 22:58:52 retiisi kernel: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 1 to 58 May 13 22:58:56 retiisi last message repeated 4 times May 13 22:59:27 retiisi kernel: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 1 to 59 May 13 22:59:40 retiisi last message repeated 13 times May 13 22:59:41 retiisi kernel: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 2 to 59 May 13 22:59:59 retiisi last message repeated 18 times May 13 23:02:29 retiisi ntpd[20630]: synchronized to 192.26.119.7, stratum 2 --- The host is 2.6.24 (skas4) and the clients are vanilla 2.6.24.
