Thanks. For just my own machine, it is this one:

though others have different hardware I expect. The freeze leaves no
trace in the log files.

Hi Lars,
About logs:
Is the distro installed or is the freeze occurring with a live ? If it is
installed,
is it possible to get the dmesg just after a reboot, and seek for the last
lines just
before the last reboot lines ?
The distro is installed, but lately I've had freezes during the
installation process. Tomorrow, or whenever the new beta arrives, I'll
be doing installation on the machine again. 3x alternate and 3x desktop.
hum… I'm not sure it is still possible to get the dmesg messages from the
former
session nowadays. Maybe seek for the last lines of dmesg from within a Live
session?
I can't get the machine to crash on demand.
Of course, this would be just after one of these random crashes.
Hi, Mélodie,
Ok. I'll see what I can do about getting a dmesg after the next crash
on Monday (tomorrow)
About mac mini : isn't there something in that kind of hardware which might

Just noticed the two different kinds of CPUs : which one is in use when you
boot? Can
you setup something in the bios to select one or the other? →
The output is from lshw. I'm not so sure how reliable that is.
I have considered lshw very reliable so far. Have you started it with the
admin rights?
(sudo lshw).
What does cat /proc/cpuinfo return ?
I've included the contents of /proc/cpuinfo below at the end of the
message.
It should be registering an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU. I'm not up on hardware
enough to know whether that is dual core or dual cpu. But either way,
both should be the same. Looking at /proc/cpuinfo shows that both are
the same, so I suspect that the fault is with lshw.
lshw shows a core duo and a pentium III.
…
I've found 3 or 4 big mistakes in what lshw has reported on other
hardware, but cannot recall the specifics since it was so long ago. So
the report of PIII may also be a mistake.
→ Could you check in the BIOS to see if there is an additional PIII CPU
showing
and enabled? (And if so if it could be disabled)
I'm not sure how to do that. AFAIK there is no BIOS only OpenFirmware
or EFI which have no menus.

Yes, I saw that one too. It does not have much information.

It does not show agpgart-intel and after a fast search in Lubuntu vbox, in my
own
Archlinux box and on the web it seems not to be provided anywhere anymore.
I don't quite see how zram would interfere with the GPU abilities. Are you
considering trying the values I have pointed to in the last mail here ?

I'll need help walking through that.
