They are listed as sleeping, but are not all 'f's. The other commands requested are in the attached file. Please note that we have both the 2.4.9-e3 kernel and the 2.4.9-e16 kernels installed. Booting under e3 works properly. The debugs are from the e16 kernel. root@faye ~]# cat /proc/1326/status Name: sipd State: S (sleeping) Pid: 1326 PPid: 1 TracerPid: 0 Uid: 501 501 501 501 Gid: 501 501 501 501 TGid: 1326 FDSize: 32 Groups: VmSize: 258296 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 255148 kB VmData: 1824 kB VmStk: 92 kB VmExe: 1236 kB VmLib: 4424 kB SigPnd: 0000000000000000 SigBlk: 0000000080000000 SigIgn: 8000000000001000 SigCgt: 000000038800446b CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: 0000000000000000 CapEff: 0000000000000000 [root@faye ~]# cat /proc/1276/status Name: pserver State: S (sleeping) Pid: 1276 PPid: 1 TracerPid: 0 Uid: 501 501 501 501 Gid: 501 501 501 501 TGid: 1276 FDSize: 32 Groups: VmSize: 15824 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 2980 kB VmData: 10888 kB VmStk: 44 kB VmExe: 1260 kB VmLib: 3172 kB SigPnd: 0000000000000000 SigBlk: 0000000080000000 SigIgn: 8000000000001000 SigCgt: 0000000380014001 CapInh: 0000000000000000 CapPrm: 0000000000000000 CapEff: 0000000000000000 Current relevant packages installed: ------------------------------------- kernel-source-2.4.9-e.16 kernel-2.4.9-e.3 kernel-utils-2.4-6 kernel-smp-2.4.9-e.3 kernel-doc-2.4.9-e.16 kernel-smp-2.4.9-e.16 kernel-headers-2.4.9-e.16 kernel-debug-2.4.9-e.16 kernel-debug-2.4.9-e.3 kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-10 kernel-2.4.9-e.16 glibc-common-2.2.4-31.7 glibc-profile-2.2.4-31.7 libcap-1.10-6 dietlibc-0.15-1.9 glibc-devel-2.2.4-31.7 compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2 glibc-2.2.4-31.7 libcap-devel-1.10-6 procps-X11-2.0.7-11 procps-2.0.7-11
