Hey all, well let me put few cents on top. I do have dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1.70GHz stepping 02 DELL machine with 1G of memory, and I do experience the same random freezings like the "AMD" users using Mandrake 8.1 kernel: Linux version 2.4.8-26mdkenterprise. Thought it's a X system, so I totally disabled it, but this doesn't solve the problem. I was thinking to upgrade to newer kernel/system version, but after the last e-mails looks like I have to downgrade...
Any idea on this Regards Goshko On Mon, 27 May 2002, Nicolas ROBAUX wrote: > Le Dimanche 26 Mai 2002 01:20, vous avez �crit : > > Double-check the boot to make sure mem=nopentium is in each and every > > linux boot append line.
