This is sym2's typical behaviour when it receives no interrupts. I think if you were to NFS-root this box, you'd see equal problems with the network driver. Try asking on the powerpc lists, see if there's a known interrupt routing problem. -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
