One of the things you can do is make sure that you have all the latest firmware and bios patches installed from Compaq. Can you give us a description of what "locks up" means? Does it turn off? Does it just freeze and stop responding to the keyboard and mouse? Is the monitor still on? Does the text or X-display on the monitor stay there when the box freezes? What about network access? Can you still ping the box? Can you ssh into it? I have a few DL360's here loaded with Linux 6.2 & 7.1 and they have been up for several hundred days without a problem, so I know it isn't a hw-compatability issue. It has to be either a problem with the hardware or the firmware. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
