Also, I have Try compiling the machine with the kernel debugger DDB (refer to the handbook to learn more about kernel debugging), and analyze the situation by using the ``hot key'' (Ctrl-Alt-ESC, or Cltr-PrtScr on the console), and look at the process status. (DDB has a `ps' command of its own which should still work since it doesn't need a new process.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
