++ Ingo, this probably has to do something with the random unmotivated hardlocks which I suffered from with 2.6.23 when I used 2.6.23-based kernels my rig from time to time (sometimes 2 times a day) just locked and wouldn't react to keyboard-input or magic sysrq key anymore if I have a more precise look at my memory (in my head) it probably happened more often around usage with realplayer (<-- at least that app; 32bit on amd64) [perhaps also with 32bit thunderbird] the next suspect is nvidia-drivers: with earlier versions this happened more often for me (that's at least the "feeling" I have) so you guys might want to start with those 3 points (thunderbird, realplayer, nvidia-drivers); considerung use / test with latest cfs-backports would also be a good idea, with early backports I had some problems, whereas it's now perfectly stable (fair group scheduling not enabled) unfortunately I can't / couldn't reproduce it in addition to that I'm pretty busy right now so I can't investigate any further ... hope you also find the culprit for that buggy ;) Regards Mat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
