I read this on http://rpmfind.net and some other places via google.com searches (I was about to buy that motherboard and two Celerons a while ago, but decided not to). Calm down :-).
The electrolytic capacitor thing seems interesting.. I wonder if that's what it is... Since I'm just a software person and not an electrical engineer, a bad capacitor means that I'll have to probably replace the motherboard, processors, and RAM at the very least -- something that I was hoping to avoid for another couple of years until dual G5s come out :-(.. It froze again today when I was about to use the system :-(. Fortunately, the fsck times (currently use only ext2, but would like to use resierfs) seem very fast in the latest cooker compared to what they were several months ago :-) (new version of ext2fsck?). I've read that several kernel debuggers are available for the Linux kernel. I haven't spent much time looking into whether or not it's built into the cooker kernels, so I was wondering if anyone here knows the best way to try to debug the kernel. I'm very anxious to find out exactly where in the kernel these freezes happen ;-), and if it's consistently in the same place. Time for me to hit the HOWTOs :-)...
