Well, one of my machines just locked up again, even with SCHED_4BSD on it, so I am now thinking it is unrelated. The machine has completely locked - no response to pings, no response to keypresses, nor to the power button. There is nothing printed on the console - it is just sitting there with a login prompt :-( This is really not good - these are extremely common servers after all, and I am just running bog standard 7.1 with apache and mysql. This is happening across several different servers, all of which are slight variants on the DL360, so I dont think it is something perculiar to me. -pete.
