It's happened three times today. I've built and installed a 2.0.34 kernel.
Twice the freeze happened soon after I used the su command to switch to root. The first I think also involved su.
By freeze I mean 1 System does not respond to keyboard (can't change the state of lights) or mouse (cursor invisible once. visible but immobile the last). 2 The last time I thought to ping from the next machine. No response.
Recovery technique: get a pointed object and press the little red button.
System: PII-233 64 Mb non-ECC RAM. ASUS P2l97-S M/b, 2x EIDE drives, 1 EIDE CD drive. 1 Fujitsu M2513A Removable (somewhat sick) MO SCSI drive. The drive's been playing up for some time and unless it's misbehaviour provokes a new bug, it's probably not connected to the problem. Supporting this is that I did nothing just before the freezes that affected the drive. ISA NE2000 clone (by Danpex). SMC 9432 (EPIC100). ES1868-based sound card (M ATI've not got it working propoerly yet, but I don't think that's relevant). ASUS S3 card - S3TRIO64V2. floppy. No printer. Serial ports not in use (but cabled to each other).
The hardware configuration's been stable for months.
Software: RedHat 5.0+ XFree86-3.3.2-5 Here's the result of running a script to sho most of my updates: + KDIR=/RedHat/updates/ + KFILE=/RedHat/updates/linux-2..tar.gz + KBASEDIR=/usr/src/ + grep d ver + insmod --version insmod version 2.1.85 ++ gcc --version + echo gcc version 2.7.2.3 gcc version 2.7.2.3 + ld -v GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1.0.4) + ls -lG /lib/libc.so.5 /lib/libc.so.5.4.44 /lib/libc.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 14 May 12 04:09 /lib/libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.4.44 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 35500 May 12 04:09 /lib/libc.so.5.4.44 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 13 May 12 02:54 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.0.7.so + ldd --version + grep ldd ldd (GNU libc) 2.0.7 + ls -Gl /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2 /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 17 May 8 17:49 /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2 -> libg++.so.2.7.2.8 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root 917797 Nov 4 1997 /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8 + ps --version procps version 1.2.4 + procinfo -v This is procinfo version 13 (1998-03-07) + mount --version mount: mount-2.7l + hostname -V net-tools 1.432 hostname 1.96 (1996-02-18) + basename --v basename (GNU sh-utils) 1.16 + automount --version Linux automount version 3.1.1 + showmount --version Universal NFS Server 2.2beta29 + echo exit + bash -version GNU bash, version 1.14.7(1) + ncpmount -v /root/bin/kprereqs: ncpmount: command not found + grep version + pppd -v ++ which pppd + rpm -qf /usr/sbin/pppd ppp-2.3.5-1M ;X
(pppd segfaults on this system).
The third freeze followed these commands: su -l cd /var/log grep -i bogo messages
The system didn't respond to the grep command (except by returning the text cursor). I believe the grep command started processing, but no more.
I was running in an XFree window at the time.
