Hi, today my laptop started hanging. after investigating on the console, i could isolate this problem: whatever i do, the load keeps growing and the machine stops responding a few minutes(sometimes 10 or 20) after booting with this message: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: ad0s1b, blkno: 352, size 4096. when running top before the hang, it shows page_daemon taking all CPU. right before the first "swap_pager" message, top stops refreshing, then "swap_pager" message keeps appearing every 20 seconds approx. i can't do anything (keyboard doesn't respond, nor acpi power switch) but switching off the machine. KERNEL, dmesg can be found at: www.deep-ocean.net/~olive/freebsd/syrenna/ my last cvsup && world is: FreeBSD syrenna.deep-ocean.local 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #5: Fri Jun 27 21:32:09 CEST 2003 root@syrenna.deep-ocean.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SYRENNA i386 do you have any hints or advice on how to avoid this problem ? how can i investigate further in order to provide more efficient info for you ? regards, Olivier
