When someone called me, they accidentally dropped the connection, I called them back in a short period. It is during this time (and the last time) this happened that the box froze under multiple(!) kernels, always when someone was calling. I have removed asterisk but this is the version I was running: ~$ dpkg -l | grep -i asterisk rc asterisk 1:1.6.2.0~dfsg~rc1-1 Open S I don't know what asterisk is doing but top did run before the crash and asterisk was using 100% CPU and as I noted before all other processes were in D-state. When this bug occurs, it freezes I/O to all devices and the only way to recover is to reboot the system. Just FYI if anyone else out there has their system crash when running asterisk. Just out of curiosity, has anyone else running asterisk had such an issue? I was not running any special VoIP PCI cards/etc. Justin. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
