Description of problem: I'm running cvsps -d '4 days ago' in a big CVS repository originally checked out with (approximately) CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.citi.umich.edu:/cvs pnfs (password anoncvs) After running a minute or so, the machine locks up. Not necessarily at the same point each time. Mouse doesn't move, magic sysrq keys don't work, I can't ping the machine; only the power button works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 How reproducible: See above. I'll try to find a simpler test case. Additional info: This is on a thinkpad x60 tablet--core duo, intel gigE, SATA, etc; let me know what details would be useful. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to debug this....
Can you try installing kernel-debug and booting that image instead ? It turns on lockdep, slab debug etc etc.. which might give some clues.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce the problem after several tries with 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6debug, though I verified that I could on the first try with 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6.

Sorry for not following up before; I *believe* the problem actually went away after upgrades (so, presumably, it was fixed). *But* I had other problems (totally unrelated to the OS) with that hardware, and ended up having to return it, so I can no longer confirm the fix with 100% certainty. In any case, it should be closed. (But, apologies, I'm not quite sure how....)
thanks for the update
