| |
Yesterday a real strange thing happend with 2.1.13 I was running ppp and using Netscape and for some reason the sys load jumped up to around 1 and the whole system started to crawl. I checked the /var/log/messages and there was no strange processes list at the time the load happend. It was so bad that I couldn't even switch to a virtual console, the keyboard was not recognized without a massive time delay. I finally swaped to another console and was able to log in as root and check all processes as well as use top and nothing unusual was shown.
It was really strange. I haven't run 2.1.13 again yet to see if I could reproduce the strangeness, but I suspect that it was some strange sort of fluke as I haven't had any other problems with 2.1.13. Any ideas?
Mike
