It is a brand new machine with a new install of Ubuntu Dapper. I have
gotten some automatic updates but basically it is a 6.06 system.
It is a Gigabyte motherboard with a dual core Pentium 4 processor. The
video is the onboard Intel 945G graphics controller. It has a single
250GB SATA drive. It currently has 512 MB of DDR2 RAM. The second 512
MB chip was returned because it failed memtest. I am waiting to get a
replacement.
I am running GNOME (I installed the workstation install and added the
server packages that I wanted).
I checked that swap is on. At least free reports swap available.
Thanks,
David Suna

Could you specify which version are you using? Did you upgrade version?
When the machine freezes nothing besides for a reset will get it
back. I cannot get console access via the keyboard nor can I get access
via ssh.
I observed these problems in both 6.06 and 6.10 specially with old
hardware. Send your hardware configuration including graphic card.
*Ubuntu 6.* and other Debian based distros that use kernel 2.6.17 does
not manage properly some drivers. I experience these problems with a
Savage graphic card with *Ubuntu 6.* and Knoppix 5.0, but not with
Ubuntu 5.10 or Knoppix 4.0.
This machine acts as the NAT router for an internal network
and none of the machines on the internal network can access the Internet.
Are you using any GUI?
I have looked at the logs but there are no error messages in the logs.
Sometimes the freezes occur when the machine is idle and sometimes when
the machine is active. Since I had memory problems on this machine
before I ran memtest on the memory but no errors were reported even
after running the test for more than 10 hours.
Check also if your motherboard is overclocked and remove the defective
RAM. Check for your specific hardware at the Ubuntu bug reports.

Check also if your swap is active. The new system that replace Init at
Ubuntu 6.10 sometimes forgets to activate the swap space. However it
seems only occur if you upgraded from an older version and was not has
been yet reported in fresh installs.
Try with Ubuntu 5.10 and if it works, don´t forget to fill a bug.
Can anyone suggest how to go about diagnosing what the problem is?
Thanks,
