Well, I didn't need to do that at all. The system locked up again. After about 6-8 hours of operation. I had left the CPU case open just to ensure that its getting sufficiently cooled but it locked up.

No...my P4's CPU frequency is definitely scaled down. I can feel the difference between the frequencies as when it gets upto 2.8GHz, it generates huge quantities of heat :P Anyway, back on topic...I booted into a different kernel ( though its still a 2.6.x ) kernel to see what happens. Do you think this could be a harddisk issue? I definitely think this is a low level failure... -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
