More info would be useful. 

What happens when you run the machine without X? Does it still hang?

Did you check your memory by memtest or some other equivalent program?

Are there any badblocks on your hard drive?

I do not know enough about the kernel to answer that. Sporadic crashes
without an easily identifiable trigger can also be caused by a hardware
problem (RAM, CPU temperature, power supply voltages, etc.) so it might
be worthwhile to check that first with memtest86+ and lm-sensors.

Computer keeps hanging

2006-10-02 Thread Peter Karlsson
Hi!

I am having problems with my machine, it keeps hanging. First I thought
it was the graphics card, an ATI card using the ATI driver. I upgraded
from Sarge to Etch, then switched to an Nvidia card, both with the
Nvidia and ATI drivers.

Today I managed to capture the crash message, by watching the syslog
from a remote terminal. This is the crash message, at least the end of
it (the rest got lost in the scrollback, when I tried capturing it, but
I did take some photos of it with my digital camera in case there is
something I need to reproduce:

I am using a stock kernel from Debian:

Linux version 2.6.17-2-k7 (Debian 2.6.17-9) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 
4.1.2 20060901 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-13)) #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 17:18:46 UTC 
2006


Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Should I file a kernel 
bug?
