Hi all, 

I'm running SID on 2.6.9 (no other kernel was installed before the
current one). I've got a problem where my box randomly hangs and
doesn't allow any connections in or out - ssh, telnet, finger, httpd -
nothing except icmp ping requests. I've ran memtest and that seems to
log the X session I'm currently in out. I also get the following error
messages after it terminates itself from /var/log/messages:

Dec 29 15:51:02 fresh kernel: VM: killing process memtest


I've also ran chkrootkit from unstable to see if it could be anything
else and to rule other factors out and that can't find any obvious
breakins.

What I'm curious about why the box will go into an unusable state but
when restarted it will be fine up until a random point. It could be
two hours or two days. So if it is the memory why would the box still
be accepting ICMP ping requests but nothing else that I can see?

Any help in this matter is very much appreciated.

Tam.
