init high load problem

Hi,

It seems my server is having issues all of a sudden. First, not many services are working properly, including httpd, and named.

I have a Cpanel/WHM server if it makes a difference here, but anyway, the problem is the init load is staying around 50%. I can't terminate the proccess, also, nothing is coming up in /var/log/messages. It wont even create the messages file, sort of like it is out of diskspace, but it isn't.

Here is output of top, as well as lsof, and httpd restart

TOP:

root@MUSTANG [~/rkhunter]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start: httpd (pid 2706) already running

And can't kill the 2706 proccess..

Oh, and /sbin/reboot -t now returns the system reboot message, but doesnt do anything, and doesnt reboot the system

Any ideas? Thanks..
