Hi again I've pretty much given up on Hardy. Occasionally I try something else which has been mentioned by others, but nothing has worked for me so far. I have decided not to compile my own kernel based on the feedback of others, and will wait for the new kernel in Intrepid Ibis or Hardy Backports.
Crashes occur on SATA, IDE, USB, and RAM drives with all disks unplugged. So it seems the disk activity thing that I mentioned seems to be a dead end and may not be relevant. Sorry about that. I installed and updated the 8.04.1 release and was nearly convinced that the issue was resolved. The machine was left on and ran for several days with no issues. Once I started using it to do some fairly normal desktop work (Open Office, Firefox etc), it began to lock-up repeatedly. The 2.6.25 kernel was solid in Fedora 9 and OpenSUSE 11 when installed on my machine. Nvidia (propriety drivers) and Compiz all seemed fine. I haven't looked very hard at machine specs in this thread, but Intel 6600 seems to feature more than once. Also noticed in this thread are newer model Nvidia cards. I know that these specs are not relevant in some of the other crash report threads, but maybe this really is a different issue. Something about introducing Nvidia modules into 2.6.24 kernel on the Intel 6600? Might be significant, might not....
