Hi
I was RedHat and Mandrake user and now I am (I hope for ever :) ) Gentoo user
but I have a big problem. linux sometime crash (hang) sometime without any reason !!!
This happened to me in Redhat,Mandrake and now in gentoo
sometime I don't do anything , just browsing the net with mozilla !!!
anyone know any reason for this crash ??
My PC is : Compaq Presario 2800 (Laptop) HardDisk 20GB Memory: 256M CPU : Intel Mobile 1400
I would suspect hardware. Listen for the fan, does it stop? Is it running at all? I once had a Cyrix :( 266MHz that did it all the time, regardless of Linux OS or configuration. It was overheating.
BTW : How can I make gentoo allway check the hardisk (ReiserFS) if the shutdown not clear
ReiserFS is a journalling filesystem, in *theory* it won't loose data during a crash. I'm not sure how to force the check on reiser, but adding 'reiserfsck /dev/hda?' to rc.local wouldn't hurt. Just slows down bootup times a little.
HTH,
Cooper.
