Hi, I am trying to restart iptables through the KDE gui services tool, and according to 'top' modprobe use > 90%, now for more than 5 minuttes, while the service gui is unavailable. I probably wiil have to reboot to recover from this situation. I am using plain FC2 Linux tux1700 2.6.8-1.521 #1 Mon Aug 16 09:01:18 EDT 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux top - 09:39:29 up 45 min, 11 users, load average: 1.16, 1.00, 0.55 Tasks: 113 total, 3 running, 109 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie Cpu(s): 11.6% us, 88.4% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 515848k total, 453428k used, 62420k free, 40724k buffers Swap: 1052216k total, 0k used, 1052216k free, 232000k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3604 root 25 0 1896 428 1416 R 86.5 0.1 9:42.57 modprobe 2660 root 15 0 96648 10m 85m S 8.0 2.2 0:26.28 X 2863 hcs 15 0 30924 15m 26m S 2.0 3.1 0:03.11 kdeinit 2852 hcs 15 0 30596 16m 26m S 1.3 3.2 0:04.68 kdeinit 3203 hcs 15 0 159m 94m 34m S 1.0 18.7 0:41.55 mozilla-bin 2848 hcs 16 0 27336 13m 24m S 0.7 2.6 0:02.22 kdeinit Mvh Hans Christian Studt Private +45 48 79 79 89 Mobile +45 29 23 54 14 Business +45 36 14 54 14 mailto:hc@xxxxxxxx http://hc.studt.dk Powered by Linux 2.6.8-1.521
