Help with system recovery
I am running Debian Sid with an AMD Athlon 1400 512 DDR 2100 Crucial ram
2-40 gig 7200 WD hard drives and GeForce Ti 200 video card. I am having a
terrible problem with the system crashing (hard, keyboard is dead only way
to reboot is power button) this is while X is running and I have the newest
Nvidia drivers install. The caps lock and scroll lock lights are flashing on
the keyboard but that is it. I am running kernel 2.4.19 I made with
make-kpkg and changed nothing from my 2.4.18 kernel. I had a bad problem
with /dev/hda3 (ext3 filesystem) which is mounted as /usr and I think this
happened from having to do a hard reboot. I ran fsck -f on it and fixed
alot of problems and had to reinstall a few packages to get things to work.
And I thought that fixed the problem, that was last night but today again
the system was locked up while running xscreensaver and I had to push the
reset button. I can't find anything in the log files that seems to tell me
what is happening. Does anyone have any ideas what may be going on or how to
fix this problem. What should I be looking for in log files? Could it be bad
RAM? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
