Define "freezes". Post the machine brand/model/specs. > Jan 20 21:59:37 mail kernel: [ 0.000000] SMP: Allowing 0 CPUs, 0 hotplug > CPUs > Jan 20 21:59:37 mail kernel: [ 0.000000] PERCPU: Allocating 37992 > bytes of per cpu data > Jan 20 21:59:37 mail kernel: [ 0.000000] NR_CPUS: 8, nr_cpu_ids: 1 This ^^ is very odd. "Allowing 0 CPUs" is very strange. Given that, this "NR_CPUS: 8" is even more strange. > Jan 20 21:59:37 mail kernel: [ 0.004000] Memory: 598724k/614336k > available (1770k kernel code, 14940k reserved, 750k data, 244k init, > 0k highmem) Also very strange ^^ According to that above, your system has 0 smp cpus, but it has 8 cpus, and only one of those 8 has an ID. This also says you have ~600MB of system memory. There is no physical combo of DIMMs that yields 600MB so we can assume you have motherboard video chip and the BIOS is assigning system RAM for the frame buffer. But on a modern system, why do you have so little RAM installed? Unfortunately the system information provided by kern.log is incomplete. Please post output from dmesg so we can get a more complete picture of your system. Your kern.log info alone is not enough to diagnose what is causing your system to "freeze". Something to consider is that kernel issues usually cause panics, not freezes. If your system is freezing, or "hard locking", this is usually a sign of: 1. A thermal issue 2. Defective hardware 3. Hardware compatibility mismatch For comparison to your kern.log, I have a two CPU system, each a single core CPU: Jan 20 01:59:42 greer kernel: found SMP MP-table at [c00f5b90] f5b90 Jan 20 01:59:42 greer kernel: SMP: Allowing 2 CPUs, 0 hotplug CPUs Jan 20 01:59:42 greer kernel: NR_CPUS:2 nr_cpumask_bits:2 nr_cpu_ids:2 nr_node_ids:1 -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
