I've tried disabling certain "newer" features (kernel pppoe for example) and upgrading some of the other software on the box that was suspect due to it being relatively active at the time of crash (samba, X, etc.) but have had no luck yet. I wish I had a serial console to plug in to see if that turned anything up, because SysRQ doesn't even respond. On a lighter note, I'm currently running 2.4.8-ac2, and while the problem isn't gone, it does seem to be less frequent, so I'm thinking I might try moving to a later 2.4.8-ac or even 2.4.9 if I get the time this weekend. I didn't see this at all on 2.4.2, which I ran for a couple months, so my guess is it's related to something that changed in 2.4.3 (which I skipped) and 2.4.4, but I haven't had the time to even consider an exhaustive search through all those possibilities. Good luck, and let me know if you find anything... tw On 08/22/2001 09:46 -0600, Travis Shirk wrote: >> Hello, >>=09 >> Ever since I upgraded to the 2.4.x (currently running 2.4.8) >> kernels, my machine has been locking up every other day >> or so.
