SubjectTotal freeze with 2.1.12[7,8]
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
