You might want to try a kill -HUP to try to "wake" the process up. Not all
processes will respond to this, but most will. Once awakened you should be
able to use a kill -9. If these are orphaned processes then this will not
work.

Subject: Killing "D" process
I have a process on my machine that ps aux and top report as 'asleep and
non-interruptable' ("D" in top). I've perused my O'Reilly books and what
online help I can find as to how to kill this thing. So far, the best I've
been able to figure out is reboot the machine. :(
I would rather avoid the Redmondian solution to this problem.
Is there any way to wake up a sleeping process so that it *is* interruptable
(and therefore killable)?
(Yes, I have tried to kill it as root, yes I have tried kill -9 and just
about every other kill -n combination I could find).
Cheers,
James
