When I've left my thinkpad on overnight (without apm --suspend'ing it) when I wake up in the morning, it's locked up hard. For some reason it seems to run for a few hours w/o any interaction on the machine itself, then it just dies. I did a test where I ssh'd into the box and ran a simple while [ 1 ] { data ; sleep 30 } test, and it died after 3,4 hours of inactivity.
I've seen this at least since 2.4.13-AC5, and see it currently in .15-pre8.
I'm using the pcmcia package (instead of the kernel's because I can't get my orinoco card to work with the kernel's driver) and I always have my xircom (ibm rebranded) card inside when it crashes (so the associated module installed). I'm also using the thinkpad module (tpctl related). I also have the cs46xx module installed, as well as using devfs + ext3 (though would the last 2 really have anything to do with it?). The kernel is compiled with usb support, and the rest should be a fairly normal kernel build. How would I go about trying to diagnose why the machine is locking up hard.
Nothing is in syslog when I reboot.
thanks,
shaya potter
