SubjectRe: Crazy load average & unkillable processes
Looks like you still have quite a lot of free memory left, so its
not that. Maybe you have runaway processes? Look in top. Although
if its only happening with test4, I guess its probably kernel
related. Maybe ACPI? Maybe your video card driver? Try booting with
acpi=off. Post a dmesg too. Thanks.
