Hi, I'm using 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl kernel on an AMD Athlon 1G with 512 RAM. Ever since upgrading the kernel version from the stock kernel, my machine suffers infrequent machine hangs. Checking /var/log/messages doesn't show anything out of place. Here are the stuff that I usually have running in place. ps aux USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.5 0.1 2000 508 ? S 07:06 0:04 init [3] root 2 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?
