Hmmm... Dual Opteron... Are you running a 64 bit kernel? <insert version> Are you running a 32 bit kernel? <insert version> Are you running a SMP kernel? <insert version> Are you running a non FC2 distribution driver? <insert version> For the sake of diagnosing the problem and perhaps stability you might setup to run single processor. Disable the second processor and run a stock single processor version of the kernel. Since you are running KVM you might also take the KVM out of the loop by adding a dedicated keyboard and mouse. With X over ssh on a local network I hardly use my KVM except to boot. The lack of symptoms smells like a multi processor lock problem to me. These can be painful to diagnose. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/dull where insight begins.
