I experienced the same symptoms from a cvsup from april 28th, a box which had ran without fail for 8 months hung hard within 24 hours. I cvsup'd again on may 4th, and the box has ran fine since then. This box is also running IMP, with apache and postgres, and also handles a fair bit of email each day. > Configuration: [full dmesg snipped] We do not have a single piece of hardware (barring legacy isa stuff like serial ports) in common.
