Re: abit ax8 - strange behavior
hi guys,
thank you for your replies...

i haven't tried yet... i will do next time i will be forced to reboot my
computer. i also added report_lost_ticks - from what i read on the net,
it could help tracking down the interrupt that causes the problems.

even i have some Gbit onboard card as well, i don't use it (afaik, not
supported yet - some problem with drivers). so i don't know whether also
in my case it refuses initialisation.

i think it crashed completely (i'm not sure how long did i wait,
however). i tried remote login to that machine - to no avail. also, it
didn't react to ctrl-ald-del, ctrl-alt-backspace or any other
combinations....
the problem is that it happened both during local operation (e.g.
copying/moving something from one disk to another and local rsync) and
remote operation tar c dir | ssh my_box "cd somewhere; tar xv" where
my_box is amd64 machine that crashed...
the strange thing is that it crashed on the same file every time.
copying some other file beforehand solved the problem... that's weird.
best regards,
