OK quickly before it hangs again..
can't be sure they're related, but it only started hanging after I set
up the new monitor.. new monitor means new modelines etc., so I guess it
could have something to do with my ati xpert 98 putting out higher
bandwidth.. or not at all. It did hang three times with no X running
though: one kernel panic after rebooting from the first hang, then
it hung during fsck, then it hung at the login prompt after entering
runlevel 1. It's hung about six times in the past two hours. A few
days ago I tinkered with the cpu (put in a new fan) but no problems
until now. Also I reinstalled sendmail last night, and installed
mutt. OK, I have no idea. Tried rerunning lilo (in case a bit got
flipped in the boot image) as well as another kernel from floppy, no
go. Any suggestions on how to debug this welcome. Not even sure
which logs to look through and what for.. -chris
