Hello:
I'm just trying to narrow down a possible cause for some hangs I'm
experiencing with a new Linux box.
It's a dual PIII with 256 Mb of RAM running Red Hat 6.1
(kernel-smp-2.2.12-32); has an Adaptec 2940U (aic7xxx) SCSI id 7 running
an IBM 18 Gb SCSI drive on id 0 and an external recordable/rewritable CD
drive on id 1; a Matrox Millenium G400 w/ 32 Mb running at 1024 x 768 @
322 bpp, a 3Com 3c590 PCI 10/100 ethernet card, a Sound Blaster Live!
card. The system has all errata updates applied. I also installed the
very latest glx drivers for 3D, as well as SBLive driver support as
downloaded from www.dell.com.
I installed the system this morning without too much difficulty. This
afternoon I noticed several HARD hangs while in X (no keyboard control, no
mouse control, and incoming network connections would not work) which
required system reboots.
I thought it might be sound-card related (since that was the last thing I
installed), but the thing is, I wasn't *using* sound (don't have speakers
hooked up yet). I also thought it might be Matrox G400-related. The
system hasn't hung since I commented out the sound crap from
/etc/conf.modules, but it's probably a little too early to tell if it will
remain stable.
If anybody has a similar configuration and has noticed these hangs, please
contact me and hopefully we can narrow this down.
