Hey Group; I am seeing a problem which seem to only happen in SuSE9.0. This system is a triple booting system with XP Pro (for playing with "wine" only!), Fedora Core 2, and SuSE9.0. When running KDE and at various times the whole machine locks up - keyboard, mouse and CPU. This system seems to lockup running SuSE's enhanced Athlon kernel-2.4.21-215-Athlon running a stock X server and KDE 3.1. Running 2 IDE CD-RW on the same Primary Master/Slave cable. It appears not to be heat related. I have upgraded all of the NVidia chipset with NVidias drivers. It is a A7N8X-E MB/CPU=Athlon Barton Core XP 2800+, 512 DDR PC3200 memory and ASUS FX5200 AGP card. Anyone else seen a similar problem? -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / \/ / / /_/ / \ \/ / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/\__/ /_____/ /_/\_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 Dump Microsoft Software - Stop virus email Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org " http://counter.li.org " #279316

I suggest you have a look at this document. Problems Caused by the Boot Parameter Desktop http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/10/pohletz_desktop_90.html -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

I have an older Athlon (1.4 GHz), with a Voodoo3 card on SUSE 9.1. But I'm experiencing exactly the same situation under KDE 3.2.3. Periodically the whole thing just hangs. Out of curiosity, I tried connecting to it from another computer, and I was able to ssh in. But as soon as I tried to bring down the X server, the whole system hung. Similarly, I have no reason to believe these issues are heat related. I just switched from Mandrake which I had been running for years, and I never once experienced a system hang. I'm hoping to find an answer to this as this is too annoying ... Brett

Try "hdparm -S 0 /dev/hda", I found on another motherboard that ACPI/APM was causing the drive to sleep, but was not waking it up. If that does not fix it, try booting with the option "acpi=off". Currently I'm running SuSE 9.1 with kernel.org 2.6.7-mm1 on the exact same hardware configuration you have and it's rock solid. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
