Some more updates:

This machines run the upcoming 7.1-ppc with autofs-4.0.0pre9.
When I install 7.0-ppc it runs rocksolid with the same kernel binary.
7.0 came with autofs-4.0.0pre7:

Linux plum 2.4.1 #1 Sun Feb 11 11:56:01 GMT 2001 ppc unknown

(hmm, it loads autofs and not autofs4 on 7.0?)


It hangs again after a while, in this case:
cc1plus  19126   181495  2903920        4 u01783c18 c44ca000   1 current
automoun 19129   183289  2932624       54 u0176a368 c42ca000   0 current
_spin_lock(c021b754) CPU#1 NIP c0 072f18 holder: cpu 0 pc C0057A18


I will try the older autofs package now.
