Peeps, There have been an alarming number of system freezes here recently, and I guess I'm not so much looking for a solution as I am for other LM91 users that have been experiencing similar things.
There have been other system lockups, but I viewed them as anomalies at the time, and did not take notice of the circumstances at those times. However the last lockup was recent enough that I still had my ears pricked up. There were several applications open at the same time, several of which usually work without incident together. Evolution, Eterms (3), mplayer (CLI mode), xclock, qmail, Enlightenment, chronyd, esd, and kdm. The other app that I do not usually run was drakconf. I was composing an email in Evo, and drakconf had been open for perhaps 30 seconds. At the end of that 30 secs the cursor disappeared from Evo's composer window, and the system went unresponsive. Although E was still showing a desktop and the cursor could move about the screen, mouse clicking did nothing, as did ctrl-alt-backspace or cntrl-alt-del. No go with cntrl-alt-f1 thru 6 either. In the end the only recourse was the reset switch. The filesystem btw is XFS, and no problem with recovery this time. However I did not experience troubles of this sort under 8.2, so let me knock the hardware suggestions in the head right off the bat. According to LM82 the HW is immaculate (and has not changed); in addition, all LM91 updates have been applied. Has anyone else experienced similar situations or is my situation unique? --LX -- ������������������������������������������������ Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk Linux Mandrake 9.1 Enlightenment-0.16.5-12mdk Evolution 1.2.4-1.1mdk Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ ������������������������������������������������
