BUT: sometimes not only that happens, but also when i try to kill the apps it will not kill. when that happens, all kill, killall, top, ps aux commands hang at the command line and cannot be killed by CTRL-C or otherwise, i have been able to see that when i stopped my display managener I did an lsmod and it gave something like this: snd-pcm-oss 59752 11 snd-mixer-oss 20480 1 snd-pcm-oss snd-au8810 43760 220 snd-ac97-codec 83408 1 snd-au8810 snd-pcm 108172 112 snd-pcm-oss,snd-au8810,snd-ac97-codec snd-page-alloc 10384 1 snd-pcm gameport 3840 1 snd-au8810 snd-mpu401-uart 11904 1 snd-au8810 as you can see the snd-au8810 module seem to have an impossible number of "dependencies" (i think has to do with the number of unclosed sound-apps trying to be played; this could be since gaim is programmed to execute an 'aplay %s') i've had this major crash below only 3 times; and the logs didn't detect anything specific at the time. the only thing the logs mentioned at that time was an ntpd sync going on; so the only thing i can think of is that at a certain moment when a sync is going on, some kind of lock is holding cause this to happen... the only thing that i can do to fix this is reset... it is interesting to note that i also have an snd-emu10k1 as second card, which never gave problems like this, and i am always able to "modprobe -r snd-emu10k1" ... ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alien999999999 - 04-12-05 20:48 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- i forgot to note that i have the mdk 10.1 x86_64 distro and my version has a few 64bit fixes to get past kernel hangs and kernel oopses Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 04-12-05 20:43 alien999999999 New Issue 04-12-05 20:43 alien999999999 Distribution => Mandrake 04-12-05 20:43 alien999999999 Kernel Version => 2.6.7 04-12-05 20:48 alien999999999 Note Added: 0004461 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
