After a recent hard drive crash, I re-installed Linux to a new hard drive. After about 2 weeks, my system now spontaneously reboots about once per 10 minutes (on avg.). I'm assuming I messed up something in my kernel configuration as Windows is still stable. To verify that it wasn't the new hard drive (or use of different controller) I formatted a segment of it under Windows and copied 7+ gb of data onto it while doing other things without problem.
The system will reboot as early as after detecting the hard drives and before loading the root filesystem or anytime thereafter - sometimes in logging into the console, sometimes in X.
My system configuration is as follows:
Microstar 694D-Pro-AR Dual PIII - 800's - not overclocked Nice 450 Watt PS Onboard Promise PDC20265 Onboard AC97Audio - Disabled Soundblaster Live 2 Hard drives - 1=IBM-40gb on Promise Controller - 1=WD-80gb on onboard UDMA/66 controller (previous configuration was also on promise) USB Keyboard/Mouse/Scanner Intel EEPro100 NVidia TNT2 Utlra (considering the system sometimes crashes before I enter X and before the NVidia driver is loaded, my kernel has not been tainted at this point).
I don't get any messages is /var/log/... nor do I get an oops. I have tried this under 2.4.19, 2.4.20, and 2.4.21-pre2 (all compiled with gcc-2.95.3) and I get the same behavior. I have noticed no similarities between the crashes. At this point, I have no idea how to isolate it other than to start removing every single unnecessary kernel module/option from my .config and recompiling. Any suggestions? Want to see a grep of my .config?
TIA,
