This looks like something for which you would be best off going
through support. Please call 800-REDHAT1, or go to
https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/

This is clearly a kernel problem. Reading the /proc/*/stat
files should never hang; there is nothing ps can do to
handle this problem.

Comment 3 Rik van Riel 2004-09-15 15:45:19 UTC
Jaechul,

next time the problem occurs, could you please:
1) send us the output of sysrq-t
2) send us the output of /sbin/lsmod

thank you, Rik
