2.6.4 on Alpha uninterruptible sleep of processes

[Marc Giger]

Hi All,

I installed 2.6.4 for the first time on my alpha and run into big
troubles.

After some time, new started processes are in a uninterruptible
sleep state. It seems every process that opens a file hangs.
E.g. I can't tail -f /var/log/messages

witch ~ # uptime
 09:44:29 up 14:51,  6 users,  load average: 116.99, 115.78, 110.12

Attached the output of ps -aux and /proc/slabinfo.

I don't know which further informations are needed.

cat /proc/vmstat:

nr_dirty 35
nr_writeback 0
nr_unstable 0
nr_page_table_pages 1477
nr_mapped 23651
nr_slab 2390
pgpgin 463751
pgpgout 692219
pswpin 4906
pswpout 50947
pgalloc 2795267
pgfree 2795470
pgactivate 32874
pgdeactivate 78053
pgfault 10497618
pgmajfault 2668
pgscan 348418
pgrefill 762245
pgsteal 96252
pginodesteal 22
kswapd_steal 8564
kswapd_inodesteal 0
pageoutrun 95
allocstall 2415
pgrotated 49666

I'm going to reboot now

Regards

Marc
