Hello,
I've been having frequent problems with BETA1 and now BETA2
"freezing". There is no diagnostic information, nothing in
/var/log/messages, nothing, just a hung interface. I cannot ssh
into the machine and it appears the box ceases to communicate on
SSH. A couple of times I've had screen corruption on the laptop's
LCD display.
Every time it hands I'm running Xorg 7.3, Thunderbird, Firefox,
pidgin, and a bunch of xterms.
Is there something I can do to diagnose this issue?
Only random generic troubleshooting items:
- how's your heating?
the fan on the laptop runs continuously, sometimes on high speed. I
typically see temps between 140 (mostly idle) -> 165 (make -j4
buildworld) Fahrenheit.
screen corruption looks like memory or bus errors.
In my situation, it usually manifests itself as the external LCD monitor
goes blank (says "no signal") and the bottom half of the internal LCD
gets weird, multi-colored square patterns.
are you running powerd?
yes: I recently started running powerd, within the last couple of weeks
Try disabling it; it (actually acpi_throttle, which powerd uses) is
known to cause hangs on dual core systems at least.
