Have you installed the recent kernel upgrade? If you're succumbing to the deadlocks to which the previous version's Reiser FS code was susceptible, your system could appear to hang, usually partially and likely progressively (as more processes fall into the "sleep from which none awake," if you will). If you have upgraded, then I'd suspect hardware problems. Have you looked in your kernel logs (/var/log/messages) for any telltale diagnostics? > I did a test on the last lock up.

It could be the hardware (are they USB or PS/2 peripherals?), but since the mouse and keyboard input is all mediated by the X server (when it's running), problems with mouse and keyboard responsiveness are not necessarily hardware problems. I've also seen systems show progressive "lock-up" when there's a run-away process that's consuming swap space to the point where the kernel begins to be unable launch new processes and eventually pick off (kill) other processes. > ... > Clive Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
