The system works more or less fine, except that I'm experiencing hangs every now and then (the current record for uptime is 3 days, but on the average it's hard to have the system up for more than 2 days). Symptoms: hard to tell, because when it hangs I cannot telnet into the system or even use the console. No messages appear on the console either. CTRL-ALT-DEL does not work either. The few times I happened to be logged in (via telnet) at crash time, I could type in a command name (e.g. uptime...) and see the echo, then CR and that's it: no output, no more echo, no more telnet, system hangs without any message on the console. It might be that the attempt to execute my command would crash the system. But other times the system crashes with only one idle user logged via telnet (plus the daemons, of course). Any suggestions ?
