Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 08:10:13 +0200 Message-ID: <20010503081013.A1074@linux.be> Hi, I know you're probately not the right person to email this to, but I have no idea where else I can "report" this, or get it solved... Since I switched to linux 2.4.x and Xfree 4.0.x, I experience complete system lockups (no network or serial responses either). There seems to be no specific cause for it, it meight happen 3 minutes after startx, or 3 days. The only way to get out of it, is a hard reset, wich obviously isn't really "gentle". I'm currently in a second process of stress testing the hardware, but after already 36hours of cpuburn and burnMMX there is not a single sign of instability. I do have the weird subjective impression the freezes are happening more frequently lately (system usage hasn't really changed, fyi)... I'm currently running debian unstable on linux 2.4.4 with no ac patches, and the latest xfree avaiable in debian unstable, altough I experienced it also with the previous versions of both kernel and Xfree. Hardware includes a p5 200mmx, 192Mb ram and a pci voodoo banshee vga card. I know at least one system (owned by a friend) also experiencing this I'm kinda desperate in finding a solution, because this really reduces the usability of my system to "almost zero" :( Much respect and greetings, -- Greetings Joris joris@linux.be UIN: 25569167 PGP is currently out-of-use ----- End forwarded message ----- -- G.
