1.5 has died on me at the login prompt.  Since I've enabled the echo server,
I was able to ping the machine.

When I tried to telnet in from another machine, I got this:

Trying 209.185.76.39...
Connected to bsd.Culver.Net.
Escape character is '^]'.

Then it just hung forever.


Then, I tried FTP to see if I could snag some log files:

Trying 209.185.76.39.21...
Connected to bsd.Culver.Net.

Then hangs.

Finally, I go out into the machine room and at the console hit RETURN a 
few times, and sure enough the login: prompt is printed each time.  I then
type "root" at the prompt, hit return, and then it -also- hangs.

So I hit the RESET switch and I'm waiting for it to fsck the 45G disk.


Has anybody else seen this?  Or have any ideas?  Quick system rundown:
VIA VA-503+ K6-2-400 256MB ECC Promise Ultra100 running UDMA66, GENERIC 1.5
kernel.

Thanks!  -Mike
