Just a "me too". I have had hard lockups with the following system:
164LX2 533MHz
4GB Seagate IDE drive
8MB ELSA Gloria Synergy video card.
DEC Tulip NIC (Kingston KNE100TX)
Debian 2.2
kernel 2.2.14
SRM firmware
It has not locked up lately. I'm not sure if it's stable now. It seems
to hang more often if I build a modular kernel. It also seems to hang
more often when running X. I have tried swapping all removable parts of
the machine (video card, memory, HD) to no avail. I have several
similar machines which have also occasionally locked up, though it
happens more often on my desktop machine.
Any insight into this problem would be most welcome.
Greg
