Process falls into uninterruptible sleep
Hi.
I have a problem, since I'm using linux-2.4.21-pre6
Sometimes (there seems to be no reason for it) a process (doesn't matter what process) falls into an "uninterruptible sleep" while doing something with it. This problem isn't reproducible or bound to a specific process. It happens when it "want's to happen" :)
Here an example of a locked kmail:
mb@lfs:~> ps aux | grep kmail
mb 27979 0.2 8.8 43124 22728 ? D 15:56 0:35 kmail
I'm not able to kill the processes.
I don't know if it is really a kernel-problem, but I think it is one.
Regards
Michael Buesch.

I have the same fault when I use galeon or mozilla.
If I want to use galeon or mozilla again,I must reboot my pc first.
It happened to me with mozilla
(and some other apps, that I don't remeber), too.
