The freezing machines all have RAID-1 and fast CPUs and a lot (500-1000 MB) memory ? .. and are SMP ? ... > Hope this can help tracking the problem down or at least save some time > to people with a similar situation, I reported on this two months ago, and a month ago I figured out that non-SMP kernel works just fine (although the other CPU at my SMP machine now idles...)
