smbmount -> system crash ?

[Zoltan Toth]

Hello,

I've just installed a SuSE 7.0 system from scratch and would like to use
the files shared by my collegues. So I tried to use smbmount, but it
creates the following error message in /var/log/messages:

Additionally:
- if I do a df, it hangs when trying to get the info about the samba
file system, and I cannot kill it (not even with kill -9)
- if I try to cd into the directory where I wanted to mount the samba
filesystem, my system reboots
- the system reboots also if I try to get an ls of the directory where
the mount pint resides

I use the kernel that came with SuSE 7.0 (2.2.16) and samba version
2.0.7-72.

To be a bit more exact, the following commands crash the system:
$ smbmount //machine/service ./mountpoint
# the error message is created now
$ ls .
# the system is rebooted

In the case it counts, the hardware is: PIII 600EB (Coppermine), Abit
BE6-2 mainboard, RealTek RTL-8029 ethernet card (used with ne2k-pci.o)

Anybody met this problem yet? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Elek
