I'm really annoyed when even root can't kill -9 a job that's gone bezerk and hogs the CPU at 99.9%. :evil: I don't get it! :(

Yeah, yeah, if this and that, then this and that. Whatever. I'll use the superkill command, which is just the button under the power switch on my boxe front panel.

ADDED:

Just found this in my logs:
Code:
Oct  4 05:37:31 manitou CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004
Oct  4 05:37:31 manitou Bank 1: b200000000000115
Oct  4 05:37:31 manitou Kernel panic - not syncing: CPU context corrupt
Oct  4 05:37:35 manitou <6>MCE: The hardware reports a non fatal, correctable incident occurred on CPU 0.
Oct  4 05:37:35 manitou Bank 1: b200000000000115
Oct  4 06:14:35 manitou lockd_down: no lockd running.
This look strickingly like if I was overclocking. :?

Use a stabler kernel and/or don't compile the kernel with CFLAGS that are too aggressive :) This never failed me.

If the process is a zombie ( see if it's between [ ] in ps ) you'll need to kill it's parent process.
