Sluggishness after a while [message #29891]

Hi,

I'm running 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.028stab053.10PAE on one of my server and once in a while, it starts becoming slow and unresponsive, and it comes back to normal after a reboot. That is really weird. One symptom is that when I execute "top" it takes a very long while to load, while "ps aux" is instant. No failcnt in user_beancounters.

Any idea?

HW: HP lpr2000 2x PIII Tualatin 1.13, 1.750 MB RAM.

Regards,
Ugo

I see this on CentOS 5.1 as host. I can't get past entering my username. I have enabled magic sysrq to debug it.

2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.028stab053.10

Do you see anything related to "unregister_netdevice" in the kernel messages log?

/var/log/messages:Apr 28 06:05:16 hnlubik01 kernel: ibm_acpi: Unknown symbol backlight_device_unregister
/var/log/messages.1.gz:Apr 26 08:04:28 hnlubik01 kernel: ibm_acpi: Unknown symbol backlight_device_unregister

That is all I got about "unregister". It was at boot.

Hi,

And what does "top" show? Anything strange? Processor or disk activity.
Nothing in logs or in dmesg?

P.S. May be it worth checking your server?

Try booting with "noacpi":

1. At the grub boot screen type "a" for append
2. Type " noacpi" (space acpi), press enter
3. Press enter again or "b" for boot.
