One thing I've noticed is that the machine was making more noise and I'm sure the noise is fan noise. I was puzzled by that but hadn't really connected with it. The machine is only ten months old, I wasn't pushing it at all at the times it crashed so can't be overheating. But maybe it is. I have now put a temperature monitor onto the gnome top bar so can watch that (though I have a horrible feeling that sometimes you need some pretty machine specific information for those things to give you accurate information.) > Second, back from the days of funny BIOSes and incorrectly behaving > hardware I remember having to run kernel with a combination of > noapic, > nolapic, lapic, biosirq, acpi=off and others.

If I am right that the options would show in grub.cfg then I am running without any such options. Is there a sensible resource I can look at to see if any options might help (and, if so, how to add them to the call for the kernel)? > Best regards, > -- > Jakub Many thanks, Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
