FreeBSD crashes on my laptop...
Hello... I am running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE (AMD64) on an Acer Ferrari 3400 laptop... Specs... Mobile AMD athlon 3000+ 128mb ATI radeon 9700... I install it and everything seems to get detected and all... but then... it suddenly crashes... system just shuts down... no error appears on the screen... Well, this has been consistenly happening generally when I'm installing some port... Once it was KDE, other times it was Opera and most recently it was VLC... Once it crashed even when I ran the command find / vimrc. I know the syntax of the comand may not be correct, it was just traversing through all the directories and it crashed (I was tryin to find the default vimrc file). All this when I was running X under window-maker... Also it crashed once when it was in GNOME and the computer was idle for like 30mins or so and it crashed (Gnome installs during the installation process, not the ports way) So, I figure X might be the problem... So the next time I boot, I dont start X and I make VLC and it crashes around the same place I expect it to... Is it the laptop? How can I debug something like this.. get the log files or somethin just before the crash... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First of all, ensure that you are not having a temperature issue check the cooler of the laptop, maybe it is crossing to the other world... Ahmed Parkar escribió: Hello...

Re: FreeBSD crashes on my laptop...
Are the crashes always with X running? ATI support is not good for X. -Derek At 01:15 AM 7/29/2006, Ahmed Parkar wrote: Hello...
