Greetings; My system (lenny 2.6.26-2-686, P2, 2+ GHz) will just stop. No disk light, nothing works. No scrolling, typing, marking/selecting, no copying/pasting. Just frozen. It will stay like this for probably 5 secs. although it seems longer, and it happens often, every couple of minutes. It will also run really slow. Steady disk light and although I can switch (slowly) between workspaces, nothing else can be done. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Anything in /var/log/syslog or dmesg? Can you log into it from another system and run top(1)? What about running memtest86+? -- "Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt."
