2.6? Wow! How?
It sounds like it is oopsing. Before doing anything, look at
/var/log/syslog
So you'll ssh fine if whatever crashed was not related to disk and
network, but as soon as you try to talk to part of the kernel that
died, that process will lock up as well.
Why are you using 2.6? Perhaps you will have more luck with 2.4?
