Yep, that's what I said. Linux crashes a lot.
It commonly seems to coincide with Netscape crashing, but it almost always
takes the whole system with it. I can't Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or change to
another console. Occasionally I can telnet into the box and try to kill X,
but it never works. I always end up having to hit the reset button, which
doesn't make me happy. Twice, it has crashed while running dselect from a
console.
Additionally, I had something else weird happen today. I couldn't log into
my box from another machine, xdm, or a console, but it was still running
IPMasq services, etc. I finally had to reset it, since I couldn't get into
it at all. It would never complete the validating process. The kernel logs
showed the output like I see sometimes when it crashes and I'm at the
console - several lines of addresses and numbers. Any suggestions to
prevent this from happening again would also be helpful.
