I was ssh'd down to another box doing some email when the PPP connection
was getting REALLY REALLY slow. Next thing I was disconnected and I wen
tup to see what happened to the box.
It's a 486DX2/66 with 16M memory running 2.0.33 mainly for Masq and
fetchmail. It also serves as a bridge between two ethernet segments.
The only thing that was on the screen was the login prompt with this
message spewed to the console:
Ouch, no kerneld for message 2147439616
The hard drive was thrashing like crazy, PPP was down, and while I could
type the system was otherwise unresponsive.
After resetting the machine fsck didn't show anything bad, syslog only
showed that message, followed by a few "module ppp is already loded" 30
seconds after the message.
Anyone? This is very strange indeed.
