Hi.
According to the Message below I have to say I have the same issue. My
system (a compaq notebook) freezes totally while I am using Firefox,
Epiphany or SMPlayer. Checking anything else is not possible, because
when I am speaking of a total freeze, I mean a total freeze. ^^
The graphics is an Intel Baytrail, 4GB of RAM, 500GB HDD. And yes,
checked memory, HDD and the rest of the hardware without any error.
Go here, select a 4.13 kernel for F26, download the binary packages you
have installed, and from the directory where they are, run
dnf -C install [all the package names]
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
Then boot into that older kernel and see if the problem persists.
The killer apps seem to be Firefox and Thunderbird. Chrome seems OK.
As soon as I start Firefox, performance declines and eventually stops.
Thunderbird is fine so long as it is only doing email. But when it starts a
Javascript script to check events, performance follows the same path as Firefox.
Updating with dnf takes ages and also sends wait I/O through the roof.
The server has 4 Gb memory and 500 Gb SCSI disk. Memory and swap use generally
look OK. It is just disk access that seems to be the issue. but the disk
configuration hasn't changed .
All file systems are set to be checked at boot and smartctl says that all is OK.
Tests with an older kernel are so far ambigious.
