Hi,
I have ran into a strange problem with Linux 2.2.10, RH6. When I try to change a user's password (with passwd), as I typed the new password and pressed enter, the passwd process gets a D state and just sleeps forever... Then other processes get D state, and finally the system gets unusable - the kernel is running, but I can't do anything but a hard reset. It does the same thing with the 'lilo' command. I tried downgrading the kernel to 2.2.5, but the problem still was there. If if it will come again, I will try with 2.0.37. The logs contain nothing related to this at all. I don't know if this has to do anything with the problem, but sometimes, after reseting, the CMOS data was cleared (the battery is good). Even more strange is that the problem went away just fast as it came about 5 hours ago - I just did an fsck on the partition /etc is, but it didn't find any errors. As I rebooted, the problem was gone.
