Hello all -- I'm running Red Hat 9.0 on a Sony Vaio PCG-GRX600 (laptop). I haven't had problems with running linux on it, but my motherboard died and Sony replaced it with a new one (same model). Now under RH 9.0 I get random lockups at totally random times. I am running 2.4.20-8 (RH rpm kernel), 2.4.21, and 2.6.0-test1 and they all seem to be doing the same thing... random lockup.
The last message I get in my sys log prior to the computer stopping to respond is: Jul 25 08:50:21 btdgrad-pc4 ntpd[1038]: kernel time discipline status change 41 Jul 25 08:52:29 btdgrad-pc4 ntpd[1038]: kernel time discipline status change 1 Jul 25 12:45:48 btdgrad-pc4 syslogd 1.4.1: restart. Jul 25 12:45:48 btdgrad-pc4 syslog: syslogd startup succeeded (these messages were generated when running 2.6.0-test1) As you can see the machine was idle from about 8:53 until 12:45 during which time the lockup occured. Then I restart the machine (as the message indicates). Can anyone give me pointers why this might be happening? Are there other log files I can look at that might give me a hint as to what is happening and why it's happening? Thanks a lot, R!T -- ---------------------------------------- Rade Trimceski M.S.E.E.
