Thanks (again) Civ. I did not quite know about that option, and sure it isn't there. I'll try it and also I'll check the memories.
As a slight update, I've seen that some people also had freezes with KT133/SIS745 chipset, though with different kernels/versions... but it looks that they're all networked. I wonder if it these freezes could be triggered by some kind of PCI latency problem (KT133A chipsets sure have a problem with this)? Anyways that shoudn't be my case, bacause as said it was running smoothly... the only thing I did was to re-run LILO in order to change the order of the boot options - the hang-ups started shortly after that, but I can't see a connection. Saddest of all is that window$ seems to be running fine... :^( -- Wooky -----Mensagem Original----- De: "civileme" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Enviada em: sábado, 25 de maio de 2002 20:17 Assunto: Re: [expert] lots of freezes in LM 8.1 > Mark D'voo wrote: > > >8.1 was terrible for me and would hang all the time, i think my longest uptime > >was a little under a day !! 8.2 rocks though, much much more stable, at least > >for me, much much quicker too!! > > > >mark > > > Check to see if your memory is OK (memtest-x86.bin is in the /images > directoryt and can be dd'ed to a bootable floppy) > > Double-check the boot to make sure mem=nopentium is in each and every > linux boot append line.
