Re: My new Etch 2.6.18-4 install segfaults and freezes!

This smacks of a hardware fault. First, go back through your BIOS settings and make quite sure you aren't overclocking (even accidentally). If you have more than one memory module, try taking them out and replacing just one at a time in turn. Then run memtest86 or compile a kernel. If possible, try the RAM in another motherboard. Good luck finding what's up with it. Intermittent faults are always the worst to diagnose. -- AJS delta echo bravo six four at earthshod dot co dot uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

cpu overheating
Hello, When i do a cold start, the cpu fan barely spins. The result is that in a few minutes the cpu overheats and the system automatically shuts down. When i immediately turn it on again, the system detects the cpu's high temperature and begins spinning at higher speeds for the rest of the time. In both cases, the cpu fan never icreases or decreases it's speed, it just continues spinning at a constant speed since the system's startup. I have a debian-amd64 notebook, with a turion64 processor. The above mentioned behavior remains no matter what kernel i use. Any sollutions to that?? Thanks, Constantine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps there is a BIOS option to enable/disable dynamic fan speed control. Sounds like it's enabled and not working too well. Disabling it shouldn't interfere with user/kernel software that tries to control it later. Cheers, a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Disabling it shouldn't interfere with user/kernel software that tries to control it later. I entered bios settings and disabled the option 'AMD PowerNow Technology'. There wasn't any other fan-related option. That did the trick!!! Thanks Andy! Constantine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: cpu overheating
In my BIOS the option is called Q-Fancontrol.

xpdf segmentation faults
Hi, Is anybody having segmentation faults simply by attempting to launch xpdf? I've submitted a bug report on this, as I didn't see one already, but at least one other person reported this problem a couple of weeks ago. I get around it by logging off and back on again. Anybody else seeing this? Cheers, -- Seb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
