Hi,
One of my systems running 2.6.21.1 on a P4 with HT and 2GB of ram
occasionally crashes. Not with an oops or panic, it just suddenly stops
doing anything. It still lets you ping and it still forwards ip traffic
but you can't login: not via ssh and not on the console - pressing enter
brings the cursor to the next line and that's it. It is NOT swapping at
all, in fact alt+sysrq+m says that there's still plenty of memory and
swap available:

The only thing getting it from this is...a hard reboot because even
ctrl+alt+delete is ignored.

I've put the output of alt+srq+t at
http://keetweej.vanheusden.com/~folkert/ast.txt as it is halve a
megabyte in size.
Anyone can give a suggestion of what is going on? And what to do about
it?
