Upgrade to 2.2.19 , that should fix the problem. It's a bug in the releases between 2.2.14 and 2.2.19, afaik.
Has anyone heard of this before? I'm using kernel 2.2.18pre 21, activity on box over weekend should have been minimal apart from backups running.
Yes, .17 and .18 blew up quite spectacularly on tsw a few times. It seems that certain situations end up with swap being consumed and never released. .19 (or maybe .20 now?) cured the problem.
And what were those keys that try to reboot cleanly again? (not the ctl-alt-del)
Hold AltGr and SysRq, then tap out s u u b (sync, unmount, unmount, boot)
