No I certainly have not ruled out a hardware problem. But the problems started after a couple of software updates. First Linuxcnc failed to start. This update took care of that. http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=commitdiff;h=317a357aa66de71deeddaa35024c47832714f29f Then this locking up started. Switching to Wheezy stopped the crashing, so I can't help but think the first place to look would be a software problem.

It sounds like you have a machine that has been running for a long time and has been reliable and stable, and then it suddenly became unreliable and started crashing without you having made any software changes to it. If my understanding of your situation is right, then it sounds like hardware is failing. I would try running memtest86 on it for a day or two (find it in the Grub boot menu). If that fails it's almost certainly bad RAM or CPU; if it does not fail it's probably got good RAM and CPU but there could still be other hardware problems not triggered by memtest. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
