Hi, I have intermittant crashes on my Notebook. The TFT-Screen "flickers", Mouse moves but I have no reaction on Keyboard or Mouseclick any more. No Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace, no Ctrl-Alt-Del - only hard power off "helps"
It happens without recreatable scenario, once a day, or never. It has nothing to do with runtime, it runs several hours without crash or a crash can occur two hours after the first power on and after a hard reboot it runs the rest of the day flawless. It occured during usage of Konqueror, Menu-Edior, Xine, MailClient - it can not be addressed to an application, so. The only thing that points to any error is: /var/log/messages Aug 11 10:53:25 phobos kernel: [drm:radeon_cp_indirect] *ERROR* ring space check failed! Aug 11 10:58:41 phobos last message repeated 8 times Aug 11 11:11:14 phobos last message repeated 22 times Aug 11 11:19:35 phobos last message repeated 12 times Aug 11 11:20:46 phobos last message repeated 6 times Aug 11 11:20:46 phobos last message repeated 5 times But the time of crash was 12:30 approximately so the messages are an hour of age. Although, they are the only thing I can see as errors related to that effect of flickering screen and dead KDE. Environment: RH 7.3 Kernel 2.4.18-4 with PPDD von http://ppdd4rhl.sourceforge.net/ Radeon Mobility M6 LY (32MB DDR) Pentium 4 Northwood Core, i845 Chipset (same as Fujitsu Amilo-D: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/rl/products/notebooks/consumer/amilo/amiloD.html#) Can you help me? Am I wrong with assumption that XFree or the Carddriver has something to do with it? I have searched the Net but I found only hints to Kernel 2.5 and I was stuck then when I had to read C-Code, I doubt that brings me closer to a solution. thanks, Walter. -- (*) Dipl.-Ing.
