I'm seeing a similar problem with the belkin driver attached to the
serial port.

Nut Version: 2.0.1-4
pauli:/etc/nut# uname -a
Linux pauli.home.woodall.me.uk 2.4.27-3-k6 #1 Wed Feb 8 12:52:54 UTC
2006 i586 GNU/Linux

In my case this seems to be caused by using the scanner which is
attached by an old ISA scsi port (g_NCR5380).

I've tried renice -20 on all the ups drivers and monitor but even that
didn't help.

What's a bit strange is that ssh etc still seems responsive while the
scan is in progress. It just appears that it's the belkin driver that
can't talk to the serial port while the scanner is running. (Note: I get
the same problem if I attempt to run a ppp link over the serial link
while using the scanner)

I'm not too worried, this problem doesn't happen when I use an adaptec
2940 card - only reason I'm using the g_NCR5380 card is because it's an
old machine with only 3 pci slots which are already filled - anyone know
where I can get an old ISA bus video card from? ;-)

Hope this might be of some use tracking down the problem.


Tim.
