I am typing this message after I received the message that shutdown is running for a reboot now.
I started shutdown after lynx just freezed and I could do nothing. I tried to kill lynx and although after that that there is no lynx running anymore, the tty-screen stilled stayd the same. I then tried to kill bash in that tty, but without any success. Now, with shutdown running, nothing is happening. I cannot kill shutdown - even as root. I have tried killall, top and kill and have tried kill -1, -2, -6, -9 and -15 without success. I am using the 2.0.30 kernel. I thought this situation should not be possible in Linux. How can I find out what is wrong? I would probably push the reset button now, but in the future, what should I do? I must mention that when I started up lynx I got the followin kernel message: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000004 current->tss.cr3 = 00924000, %cr3 = 00924000 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<0013058f>] EFLAGS: 00010206 eax: 400060b0 ebx: 00000f50 ecx: 00000f50 edx: 400060b1 esi: 400060b0 edi: 00000005 ebp: 00000003 esp: 00925ca0 ds: 0018 es: 0018 fs: 002b gs: 002b ss: 0018 Process tr (pid: 193, process nr: 30, stackpage=00925000) Stack: 00b0c6f8 400060b0 00130a84 400060b0 00000005 00000003 0000002b 00000002 0023dc88 00000812 00005f50 400060b0 400060d0 00000005 00000001 40000000 00b0c698 000086c0 00131425 00925dac 0000a6e4 00925d78 fffffff8 00925e6c Call Trace: [<00130a84>] [<00131425>] [<00140015>] [<0012b42f>] [<0012b695>] [<0012b6ba>] [<00109f32>] [<0010a865>] Code: 64 c6 00 00 4b 75 f6 5b 5e c3 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 83 ec 0c Johann. ------------------------------------------------ Johann Spies [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windsorlaan 19 Pietermaritzburg 3201 Suid Afrika (South Africa) Tel/Faks Nr. +27 331-46-1310 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
