The caps-lock and scroll-lock light start blinking and the system stops responding. I have checked my memory using memtest86+, and cannot find any problem. Also, nothing appears in any logfile (at least, not that I can find). Can anybody tell me how I can e.g. generate more logging, or do anything else to produce more useful information to solve this issue?Not much help, but I've seen similar behavior on my Linux Certified LC2210DC (rebadged Asus). Seems to be associated with kernel 2.6.26 and a custom compiled 2.6.27.7, but I've not been able to narrow it down at all, due to a hard lock. Maybe we can look for things in common? lspci output below

After a more thorough look, We seem to have the same card reader. However, I hardly believe that can cause all this trouble. I have been using the 2.6.26 kernel for some time, with very few crashes (say once a month, at most). Suddenly, the number of hard crashes has increased, to something like once a day. It can of course just be a coincidence (we'll see, if it now stops crashing for a half year I had just a stroke of bad luck). Anyway, since the hard crashes are annoying it would be nice to figure what is causing them so I can sort my problem and maybe even help others. It is of course very possible that my hardware is faulty, that's why I checked my memory. Are there any other easy checks to be done?03:01.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev b3) 03:01.1 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C552 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 08) 03:01.2 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 17) 03:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 08) ....sjo...@laptop:~$ lspci .. 03:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 05) 03:01.1 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 22) 03:01.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C843 MMC Host Controller (rev 12) 03:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 12) 03:01.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev ff)
Thanks so far for your thinking! Sjoerd
