I've noticed that this system is freezing periodically, for anywhere
from around a fraction of a second up to perhaps 1.5 seconds, and
occurring on average about twice a minute, but with no particular
pattern - i.e. it could happen twice in fairly quick succession, or not
for 40-50 seconds.
I'm very surprised to find out that maybe I'm not alone in the universe. I
have a 6.3-PRERELEASE system (last cvsupped Dec 12), which always freezes
*once* a few minutes after booting up. This happens typically at the time
when I've just logged in using xdm, fluxbox has started up and I'm opening
my first xterm. The freeze lasts approximately 1-3 seconds. Once this
freeze is over, it doesn't happen again until I shut down the machine for
the night. But it does happen every time after starting up.
Ports were recently upgraded so it is now running xorg-7.3_1,
gnome-2.20.2, nvidia-driver-96.43.01.
I have xorg 7.3. I don't have the full Gnome installed, but I do have gtk
2.12 and lots of other gtk-based "stuff" from gnome 2.20
The system has been up for 5 days now and is quite loaded up with
applications at the moment and is normally left running.
Mine gets shut down every night.
The hardware is a Gigabyte GA-8SQ800 motherboard (SiS), with a 2.4GHz
P4, 1.5GB DDR, nVidia MX440 AGP graphics, RTL-8139 network, AHA-2940
SCSI controller (for a scanner), 2 x 80GB ATA disks.
Intel D865GLC mobo (i865), 2.8 GHz P4, 768 MB DDR, integrated i865
graphics, integrated Intel Pro/100 Ethernet, additional VIA Fire II
(VT6306) PCI FireWire adapter, 1x80 GB ATA disk. Arbitrary PCI
SoundBlaster workalike which calls itself "AudioPCI ES1373-B".
I'd really appreciate any suggestions to help identify what's going on
here.
I've always just thought it to be some random hardware glitch that is
hopeless to track down, but maybe I'm wrong. This machine was installed
with FreeBSD just last autumn and initially it didn't have this problem
running 6.2-STABLE. Unfortunately I can't pinpoint which source update or
ports update or any other change it was that triggered this behaviour.
