If you want to track the problem, then there is a netconsole. (A serial port is very usable, but the HP DV9208nr note hasn't a serial port) And an another machine is necessary to use a netconsole. The way to use a netconsole is written in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt. If the kernel-source package has not been installed yet, you need to install it. As you read the document, E.g. Suppose set up like the following two Linux boxes. [target] -> 192.168.1.2 udp 6665(default) [remote] -> 192.168.1.3 udp 6666(default) 12:34:56:78:9a:bc target:~ # insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/netconsole.ko \ [EMAIL PROTECTED]/eth0,@192.168.1.3/12:34:56:78:9a:bc remote:~ # netcat -u -l -p 6666 And you would like to check whether it goes well certainly. target:~ # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq target:~ # echo m > /proc/sysrq-trigger After this is performed, the log should be displayed in the remote linux box. If nothing is displayed, then I suspect that an UDP packet on the remote box or the target box (or both) is dropped by firewall. Check /var/log/firewall and pass a udp packet for logging agent. As for the setting, that's all. And you would have to reproduce the random lockup on the target box. :) hope this helps Thanks, eshsf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
