The machine: pentium II, 192 MB memory - did not run memtest though uses reiserfs as / fs replaced harddisk - old one had bad blocks current harddisk: 4.3 maxtor 2.4.22 ran ok - no problem 2.6.0-test6 - ok ( haven't fully tested this though) test7 - crash test8 - crash test9 - crash Problem: crash after a warm reboot. Turning the machine off and then booting it seems to make it run ok. But not always... There is no oops, no nothing. The only thing I can do is reset the machine. The role of the machine is to act as firewall. It crashes after the boot - everything goes ok, until the prompt. Then after a few seconds: a hard lock. If it does _not_ crash (i've run crashme on the test9 once) it keeps going for days and even longer (usally it runs until I update the kernel) Right now i've switched / to another partition using ext3. It _looks_ like it doesn't crash anymore, so my suspicion is that it is reiserfs related, but i'm only guessing here. My server also has a reiserfs partition (though not as /) and it has no problems with it... What can I do to find the cause of it? I've already disabled dma but that seems to make no difference. grtz Miek
