Unfortunatelly that didn't fix it. The freezes seem to be io-related; they started since I moved my drive to sata. They seem to happen mostly when there's an io-intensive operation, like extracting a big archive; a reboot is needed. Nothing ever shows up in the logs. I'm using the following drive: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: MAXTOR STM3160215AS Serial Number: 6RA2TMJ4 Firmware Revision: 3.AAD Linux localhost 2.6.24.4 #4 SMP Fri Mar 28 14:51:50 BRT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux This is a 2-processor CPU: # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 3013.697 cache size : 1024 KB (same goes for processor : 1) Sincerely, -- Luis Sousa _____________________________________________________________________ Der WEB.DE SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen! http://smartsurfer.web.de/?mc=100071&distributionid=000000000066
