Hi list, i'm a Travelmate 8005 laptop user, running an updated gentoo box. I'm routinely experiencing system freezes 1 or 2 times every two days, without an apparent cause; everything stops, starting from mouse to keyboard, so that it is impossible to restart the system.
The system logs of the system does not suggest anything particular except for this: hdc: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand } ide: failed opcode was: 0xec hdc: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand } ide: failed opcode was: 0xec which however i think it is related to cdrom issues. # uname -r 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 (PS: i have a radeon 9700 video card wuth the latest (8.21.7) drivers) # fglrxinfo isplay: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Generic OpenGL version string: 2.0.5582 (8.21.7) I know that these infos are completely insufficient but i don't know where to start.
