replying to self here....

I have had the second occurence of the hang and I can provide some more
information this time. 

The thing that hang's is disk i/o. The system continues to work correctly
but does not repond to any form of i/o. Therefore, logins, top, kill,
incoming mail, whatever requires disk i/o doesn't work. I left the system
in this state for 15 minutes, but no error messages, nor kernel panic. The
disk drive light was OFF. The only thing that helps is the reset button. 

Is there something in some sort of infinite loop here? 

This is an SMP system with the ATA driver and with Kirk's latest
softupdates changes included. See my previous mail for more uname -a. 

Regards, 

Dave Boers. 

P.S. I have to go now, but I will try if I can compile a kernel with
debugging in it and see if I can make a backtrace (would be my first one
ever) this evening.
