My GNU/Linux Pentium machine with Debian Hamm (and some packages from Slink) crashes completely at random intervals (from 5 minutes to 1 hour), and preferably in the morning. But only when I am connected to internet When I unplug the ethernet cable from the netcard I can be working for endless hours (which, on the other hand, is not quite healthy).
I have been read something about a "teardrop" that can crash kernels below version 2.0.idontremember. Nevertheless I have kernel 2.0.35 and teardrop does not affect it. Nevertheless, do you know if there is a newer version of the teardrop procedure (I don' know whether it is a program or a bug in the kernel) that could crash my system ? If it is not a teardrop, then what could it be? What can I do to avoid crashes? BTW: It also crashes Win3.1, but I am not worried about it (anything can crash windows). BTW2: The crash consists on: "You are working or whatever, and then suddenly everything freezes: the xosview, the clock, and even the mouse cursor. The keyboard is also dead: Ctrl+Alt+Fn, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Alt+`+', ... don't work. I have to reset the computer and cross fingers to be the last crash of the day" As you can see, it is very similar to a crash by the Intel Pentium F0 0F bug, but the kernel can workaround it.
