Hi,

Sorry for late reply.

I was experiencing similar weird process hangs with ssh-keygen on my
R5000 Indy running the stock Lenny kernel (2.6.26).
openssh-server wouldn't install as a result (see bug #562593)

I compiled my own kernel (from vanilla 2.6.28-10 kernel sources) and
configured CPU type as R5000. The problem (at least for ssh-keygen)
seems to have disappeared and my system (otherwise all Lenny)
currently seems stable.

Maybe there's a problem somewhere running a R4x00 kernel on a R5000?
