Yes, I had the same thing on my RH 8.0 box. Started with the first kernel 2.4.18 builds, both RH's version and mainline 2.4.18. Same symptoms. It became so tiresome that I moved to the Phoebe 8.1 beta. I am now back to 8.0 but the problem has disappeared. I can only assume that it was kernel related since I am now running the latest 2.4.18-24.8.0 with no problems. When Marcelo releases 2.4.21, I will give that a whirl and see if the bug is still around. FYI, here are my two Maxtor IDE drives (out of 4 IDE and 2 scsi): $ dmesg|grep Maxtor hdc: Maxtor 5T030H3, ATA DISK drive hdg: Maxtor 52049H4, ATA DISK drive jb -- Jack Bowling mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

There is nothing suspicious in the logfile, have looked it over completely many times. Even around the time of crash there is no entry for anything. Normally when the system hung I didn't even receive an error on the console so I doubt if the "Spuriour interrupt IRQ 7" I got yesterday on the console really belongs to the problem. On the web and mailinglists I heard that some people believe the problem might have to do with a harddisk-lockup. This would, of course, justify why ping works and I also can connect but as soon as let's say a new ssh-session should be opened (or the console should be used) the PC stops working. But how to tell?!? Are any harddisk-driver problems known? Both PCs were using normal/defensive timings - so I guess this should be the problem. And since both PCs had different mainboards I doubt that it has got to do with a specific IDE-controller. How about the harrdisks (Maxtor)? Have ONLY heard good things about those ... Any ideas / solutions? Or at least an idea how to narrow the problems / monitor? > Also enable the SysRQ function, so you can see if that still works. ? What do you mean? How?

Yours faithfully, > Stefan Neufeind > > Firstly I have no solution, only anecdotal advice... I had a similar problem on an older computer, the hard drives would lock up ( although the kernel was still running it couldnt load from disk ). And it totally confounded me until I remembered my system Bus was over clocked. I turned it down and the problems stopped. I replaced that box with an Athlon 1700 on Gigabyte KT400 board, adn I get the same spurious interrupt ( on boot ) as you, but I have had zero problems with my new machine. My guess is that the problem is with the Hard drives or the HD contoller. You should concentrate there.
