Hello,

linux-2.6.0-test1 freezes quite often. I think it's related with running a verry nasty Mozilla 1.4, but it's only a hunch. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

Yes, me :(

They seem to be totally random (no mozilla, here): I use KDE and they may occur while scrolling down a window, or while typing in a shell session or whatever.

I couldn't find a way to reproduce it so far.

Note that they did not happen up to kernel 2.5.75, and they show up with 2.6.0-t1 and 2.6.0-t1-mm1.

No clues in syslog or kern.log, simply a sudden hard freeze, without particular HD or CPU activity before.

Bye!

When 2.6.0-test1 did it on me, I went back to 2.5.75, which took a nap after 2 hours, than to 2.5.73-mm2, and it also froze. Some behaviour it didn't show at it's own time, so I guessed it had to do with some recently installed software.

I'm getting very frustated right now, as I seem to be unable to find ANY kernel that doesn't freeze. (2.4.21 this time) I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with my machine itself. How can I test my computer for any malfunctioning hardware (memory for example, or overheating)?

memtest86 for ram (let it run overnight) and lmsensors for temps.

Mark.
