Folks

I've been running lshw for years in both Centos 6 and Centos 7, yet just recently it started hanging. Neither a Control^C nor a "kill" of the process cured the hang; only a reboot.

Is this just one system or a range of boxes? I just ran it on 2 different ones running CentOS 7 and it worked fine there. If it is just one particular hardware then look through the lshw man page and try the versions of something like

lshw -disable usb

to see if it still happens. [It might require other tests also.]

You could also try running it via strace - it might give you a clue as to where it is hanging :

strace -f lshw
