| |
Hello, I've got some mysterious crashes, without any message in the syslog. Total freeze, no keyboard, no network whatsoever. Just the reset button, and then 10 minutes delay before disks are checked.
The kernel : stock 2.1.128 compiled with pgcc, based upon egcs-1.0.3 and -O6: instant freeze same compiler, -O6 and arch/kernel/time.c with -O2 : freeze after mounting the swap file compiled with gcc-2.8.1, -O2 : seems OK
The circumstances : - starting netscape (I get the main window, and bang!) - browsing through netscape - a console switch in a svga based application I also lose randomly the network. Cure : cron starts a ping every hour, in case of error, ifconfig eth0 down, rmmod eepro, and restart the whole thing.
Platform : P2B-DS Asus motherboard, 2 PII-333, 64 MB RAM, 16 Mb swap (seems never used) 3.2 Gb HD, UDMA mode enabled by the BIOS "no name" S3 Trio64 grafic card Intel Etherexpress Pro10 card (the driver is 0.09, I think there is a 0.10 floating around ?) gcc-2.8.1, glibc-2.0.6
More config on request
Does someone experiment the same thing ? Are there things I should worry about ?
Thanks in advance
