Hello,
I am running woody in an Athlon system. Sometimes, when I am
working, the
system freezes. I though that it was a X problem, so I started a
thread on it
in the past. When this happens nothing works, no ctrl+alt+bksp, no
ctrl+alt+F1. The keyboard doesn't respond. The only way to resucite
the
system is with a hard reset...In order to restart the system in a
more
clean fashion, I enabled sshd. In this way I can log into the system
from
another machine an try to restart the system. The ssh daemon works
fine, I
tested it. Today the problem appeared again, the system freezed. But
when I
tried to log into the system from another machine I get the message
"secure
connection to xxx.xx.xxx.xx. refused". So when the system freezes,
the ssh
daemond stops running too. I think that the problem is not a X
problem, but a
more serious kernel (or something like that) one.
I don't have any idea of what is wrong in the system...
TIA
Marcelo
I had the same problem when I used the 2.4.2 kernel. There was
something
somewhere (archives, website or /.) that was talking about the kernel
causing
problems. If memory serves correctly, it was an issue with a memory
leak. I
stopped having that problem when I moved to the 2.4.18 kernel.
