Description Robert Scheck 2003-06-06 07:30:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
After upgrading to the recommented (!) kernel 2.4.20-18.9 
(https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-187.html) my httpd and sshd gets 
99,9% CPU at SIMPLE things (normal login via ssh, request a static page, etc).

2003 root      15   0 10684  10M  6240 S    99,9  2,0   0:01   0 httpd
1128 root      15   0  1420 1420  1188 S    99,9  0,2   0:00   0 sshd

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.20-18.9 (i686)
latest httpd from RedHat's up2date (2.0.40-8?)
latest sshd from RedHat's up2date (3.5p1-6)

How reproducible:
see before...

Actual results:
The box is very slow :(

Expected results:
Problems with NPTL?

Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2003-10-28 16:03:08 UTC 
Works, since I use kernel-2.4.20-20.9.i686.rpm or higher (Rawhide).
