The part about kill -9 failing is exactly the problem I had with the |
| 12 |
3.18.x kernel series a while ago. I know this problem must be hardware |
| 13 |
specific because some distros are still shipping 3.18 kernels as the |
| 14 |
default, and I'll bet others in this mailing list are using it without |
| 15 |
problems too. I had some scary problems with that kernel version |
| 16 |
that were very difficult to diagnose until I just rebooted with an |
| 17 |
older kernel and the scary problems vanished. The 4.2 series seems |
| 18 |
okay so far on my VMs. (Even my gentoo VMs had some minor problems with |
| 19 |
3.18.x) |
