Hi,
I've a Cyrix P166+ with 96 EDO Ram on an Asus motherboard
PI55T2P4C and a Matrox Millenium MGA video card. My system runs under
Debian Hamm.
I often use Xemacs and Gnus (original deb packages) under X11
(3.3.2.3-1) and Wmaker (0.19 from slink).
Too often, the system freeze when under X11 and the _only_ solution is
to press the reset button :-( No way to have a console.
I've read docs about set6x86 and i've removed it from rc.boot to be
sure the problem doesn't come from a bad configuration of it. In both
cases (with or without set6x86) the problem arises...
6x86_reg gives now :

=-=-=-=-=
I've read the doc about the Cyrix 'coma' bug and i've try to use
set6x86 to set the NO_LOCK bit : no change...
(BTW : the doc speaks about a little source code to detect this coma
bug but i've found nowhere...)
I've read the various log files : nothing... Is there a way to have a
trace of the crash (a core dump or something like that ?).
Thanks for any advice...
