[CLUG] dodgy debian boot

[Donncha O Caoimh]

It's a server.. do you have nfs and smb shares off it? Are they being
used by other busy servers? Sometimes smb gets stuck when an NT box goes
down..

Squid brought the system down? Were there files created in /lost+found/
and did you look at them? I had some trouble with nfs on my Debian and
RH boxes at home and "kudzu" now seg faults, probably because a bit of
it or some config file got thrown into lost+found..

Donncha.
