How can I find out which patches it incorporated, so that I can filter out that bugger? (more see down, this time it was type 2) I dunno about kgdb-ethernet (but I'll see whether I'll understand it) nor do I have a serial console. > Maybe it is a nforce2 issue then. I think it is ACPI specific. I'll also > try compiling latest kernel without ACPI and report back. I tried 2.6.3-rc1-mm1 without ACPI and it lock up up (type 1). I now can tell about two type of lock-up (maybe due to the same cause): 1) complete freeze, nothing possible, not able to read machine from network, must use reset button 2) freeze, but only mouse movement (nothing reacts though, keyboard neither) is possibel and log is flooded with error I posted, I can still reach machine via network and do a gracefull shutdown (killing X wasn't passible) Prakash
