Hmm, sysrq, eh. It's in the kernel but I never played with it before. When it freezes, it freezes hard and stays so for at least a minute (the maximum time I've waited before powering down).
Happens w and w/o X, in single-user mode, multiuser mode, with various modules loaded or not. What a pain. (this is the point where the "OPC" user says "linux sucks" :) How do I put it on tty12? thanks Judah Ben Stern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sun, Feb 18, 2007 at 01:00:16PM -0500, J.
