Hi all! Ok, I've got a generic machine, PII 400 on an Asus board, it's got an 8G maxtor, a 3com 3c905c, NE2000(isa), 192M ram, and an SIS video card. So, nothing really odd or troublesome in general. I'm running SuSE 7.3 on this machine, and I use it as a test machine for various configurations. I run apache w/PHP, MySQL, djbdns, qmail with Courier IMAP, openssh, a firewall script I wrote, SAMBA, syslogd, and snort. It boots into level 3 (multi-user/net) Here's the problem: I have to manually reboot this machine every once-in-a-while because it locks up completely. I've never seen this before! I mean the monitor, mouse, keyboard, network, disk access light -- nothing is working! On top of that, there's nothing I see reporting any problems in the syslog. I've looked over every configuration I can think of and I've stripped the processes down to just those listed above. I cannot figure out what's going on, other than "dying" hardware. A "df -h" outputs this: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 8.0G 3.2G 4.8G 40% / /dev/hda1 15M 6.5M 7.4M 47% /boot shmfs 93M 0 92M 0% /dev/shm So I know the machine isn't full. I've been watching it for a while whenever I've had to restart, and nothing strange is happening. However, I'm have to restart more frequently the past 3 weeks. :( Any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated! :) -- Travis "Whois awk?" sed Grep. -- Travis.
