Hi there,
I have been experiencing seemingly random lock ups with kernels 2.4.6-pre8
and 2.4.6-final which didn't occur when running on 2.4.6-pre5. I am not
yet able to reproduce this behaviour (I will look into this as soon as I
get some more time) but when it occurs the symptoms are consistent (it
happened three times so far):
Some programs consistently hang while others seem to continue running. For
example X and enlightenment run while top hangs (it has even segfaulted
once) xdm runs partially it sets up a new X session when reset, backgroud
colour and so forth, but the xdm-greeter does not appear. When trying to
shut down the computer from this state it consistently hangs while trying
to kill xfsft. SysReq works like a charm :-)
I am running on a Fujitsu Lifbook B110 with Intel PIIX4 Chipset 32MB of
RAM 64MB of swap APM enabled. As I have no clue what causes this erratic
behaviour, I don't know what other information might be relevant but will
gladly provide it if somebody asks. Just in case I'll attach the output of
dmesg (running 2.4.6-pre5 BTW unlike this kernel 2.4.6-pre8 and final were
compiled with gcc-2.95.3)
I'll follow up when I'm able to reliably reproduce the lock ups.
Bye
Felix
