Hi all,
I have two servers both identical in hardware and I have just done a clean install of CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on both.
Sometimes (more often than not) when I log in at the physical console (e.g. tty1, tty2, etc.) I will be logged in and it stops responding even if the shell is not doing anything.
When this happens I can still switch to another VT with alt+f2 and login as normal.
I don't know if bash, mingetty or whatever process is locking up. If I do a `ps ax` all processes are sleeping.
Any idea's what could cause this?
Thanks

Maybe try an strace on the shell to see on what it is stuck...

I assume that you've tried typing <Ctl+Q> -- just in case of flow control, yes/no?

No I haven't tried this. I will let you know if it works.

I'll do this when it happens again, but it's been OK for a while.
