Semi-frequent lock-ups
Hi. I'm running wiht packages from the newest update of Slink off the
ftp.cs.unm.edu/mirrors/debian Debian2.1r5 site, with kernel "2.2.14 #4 SMP Sun
Feb 6 12:02:09 EST 2000 i686"
I've been getting hard lockups lately, and want to know how to track them down.
I've looked in all my logs (immediately after reboot), but can't seem to find
anything important, or telling. Is someone taking me down, or is something
going wrong internally? How can I find out? From what I can tell, the last two
have been about a half an hour after the morning cron job (6:25am) tidies the
system up. The last thing in the syslog last time was a mail related line. This
time, there wasn't anything.
In the past I've locked linux up a couple times (I've been using for almost two
years), but within the past couple months, it's been too frequent for comfort.
This last one (an hour ago) was the second in three days. The one before that
was a week or two earlier, and the one before that a month, or so.
I like linux's stability. It's one huge reason I use it. I love Debian, and
don't think its at fault, but I'm getting irritated with the instability, and
want to get to the root of the problem, so to speak.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please cc: me replies, as I don't
subscribe to the list. Thank you.
chris horn.
