Re: Freezing more and more (Gericom Supersonic M6T)

Hi Pavel,

strange, I also have a Gericom 1st Supersonic M6-T, and it also
sometimes locks up during booting or when repeatedly removing and
inserting a PCMCIA WLAN card, but I don't have the same amount of
problems that you have. My machine runs mostly stable with all of

    Linux 2.4.18      + acpi-20020517
    Linux 2.4.19      + acpi-20020821
    Linux 2.4.20      + acpi-20030228
and Linux 2.4.21-pre5 + acpi-20030228

(These are the kernels that I still have installed.)

However, I had problems with KDE 3.1 and

    Linux 2.4.20      + acpi-20021212
and Linux 2.4.21-pre4 + acpi-20030123

The KDE startup would hang during the "initializing devices" phase;
often the machine would freeze, and after rebooting I had files with
invalid names on my ext3 partitions (files with \0 in the file name).
Therefore, I had to go back to Linux 2.4.19 + acpi-20020821 to use KDE
3.1 until I found out that the problems are gone with acpi-20030228.
(KDE 2.2 did always work without any problems.)

BTW, I am using Debian "sid" (aka unstable).

Good luck,
Arndt
