Well how about that backtrace? Looks like your others must've been done at the wrong time, i.e. after said lockup was over. I thought you actually had a hard freeze. A hard freeze is one from which it never recovers. A delay for a couple of seconds isn't a hard freeze. It just sounds like your system is busy, and the kernel isn't coping well for that instant, but thats just based on the info you've given us so far. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
