Hello, all- I've got an SS10 with two CPUs, running a 2.2.15 kernel with SMP enabled. It locks up hard periodically, and won't respond to stop-A, a break on the serial port, the three-fingered salute, or, in fact, anything short of a power-cycle.
It doesn't do it consistantly, but the times it happened were (a) when installing packages with apt-get (unfortunately, I didn't pay enough attention to which, but it froze immedaitely after it finished the download of the .deb files), and (b) in X (both when I was strace'ing the startup to find out why it thought I didn't have a screen, and later, while WindowMaker was starting up). There are no obviously strange log entries, and my strace output was in /tmp, so it was removed after teh power-cycle. If there are any other diagnostic steps I should try, please let me know. I've included my .config below. AFAIK, there were no modules loaded at the time of the crashes. I've cc'ed sparclinux@vger.rutgers.edu based on a suggestion in response to a similar problem a couple of months ago posted to debian-sparc, but I'm not on that list, so please cc me on any mail send to the vger list.
