SubjectHangs (no Sysrq) on Duron + KT333?
Digg This
I have been experiencing random hangs on my Linux box using 2.4.x kernels. I have tried numerous versions (up to and including 2.4.20) with no luck.
I can not reliably reproduce the hangs. They seem to occur more frequently when using e.g. USB, audio (an ES1938 under ALSA) or the parallel port, but sometimes I come back to the machine having left it idle (in X) and find it hung. There is no message or oops, the SysRq combinations don't appear to work, the machine is dead to ping and even keyboard LEDs don't do anything.

Hardware is:
Soltek SL-75DRV5 motherboard (Via Apollo KT333 [though lspci says KT266]) AMD Duron 1200

I've searched and not found anything in the archives so I'm guessing it might be bad hardware or a bad combination of hardware. This is a box I built to replace another machine which was also suffering frequent hangs so I'm loath to try replacing hardware at random again.
Please CC me in replies.
