All around system hang

[Steve Loftis]

(I mentioned this earlier on the newbies list, but I was informed it 
was more of a questions question)

I have FreeBSD 5.1 installed on my box at home. Install worked smoothly 
the second time, we just kind of messed up because it had been awhile 
since my buddy installed his. Well anywho, it works... sorta.

The thing is this: after a number of hours of non-use, the machine just 
quits responding. A movement of the mouse, a few key presses on the 
keyboard don't help. I restart the machine and it during the initial 
boot when I can access the BIOS, the input devices work fine. Once it 
reaches the bootloader, the keyboard doesn't respond.

So I turn it off, unplug both keyboard and mouse (both of which are 
ps/2, btw) and then turn the machine back on. It works after that. 
However, after several hours of non-use, it does the same thing over again.

I would consider myself an intermediate when using Linux (RedHat 
5.x-7.x) and I've printed off the a good amount of the manual from the 
FreeBSD website.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

System hangs after a while

[Steve Loftis]

I noticed lately that my system just freezes and becomes unresponsive 
after several hours. It doesn't matter whether I'm in X or if i'm simply 
in the console, but after a while the screen goes blank, and my input 
devices such as keyboard and mouse simply don't work.

After a restart, the keyboard and mouse still don't work and I'm stuck 
at the bootloader. Therefore, I turn the system off, unplug both mouse 
and keyboard and turn it back on. It works just fine... until the 
initial problem starts over again.

What could be the source of this? I am running FreeBSD 5.1 and I'm 
running an edited kernel simply to add sound support.

Any suggestions?
