I am running Slackware 3.5 (kernel 2.0.34) and I am experiencing random
lock-ups that I can't pinpoint the cause for. They occur most frequently
when the system is unattedned with the monitor screen blanked although
they have occured several times while the computer is being used. There
are no clues in /var/log/messages. I have replaced the motherboard, ram,
and hard drives and the problem persists.
Configuration is as follows:
Intel Pentium 133, 64 MB Ram
Fujitsu 2.1 GB HD with single partition mounted as /
Maxtor 245 MB hard drive with one 160 MB swap partition and the remaining
partition mounted as /dwnld
S3 Virge Video card
LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 MB/sec NIC (running at 10 Mb/sec)
The box is used for IP Masq for a LAN and also serves as an IMAP server.
My wife is the primary user and uses the box only for e-mail (Netscape
4.06 mail client).
Netscape mail is usually left running on this machine throughout the day.
Can anyone suggest any specific troubleshooting steps to try to pinpoint
this problem. I can provide any relevant scripts and/or log outputs.
Thanks in advance,
David Churchill
