Two random things that have caused freezes for me: - RAM speed being slower than the front bus speed - using the Red Hat provided eepro100 driver for my network card rather than the Intel e100 driver. Switching to the e100 driver stopped the crashes. The latter should be easy to pick though -- freezes will occur during network activity (a CVS checkin of 1000 files was a 100% reliable trigger). -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
