Hi All,

I REALLY want to start using SuSE 8.0 on my workstation, byt up to now I
have just had bad luck.
It is fighting me all the way.

The problem that I still cannot fix is the freezing up of the machine. 
I am still not sure what the problem is exactly, because there is no
trace of problems in the log files.

THe machine will just freeze dead.  Even the network is dead. 
At this stage I suspect the ide-scsi emulation, because the common
factor seem to be that every time the machine froze, either X-CD-Roast
or KonCD was running.  They were not always busy writing a CD.

Is is possible that the problem can be related to ide-scsi emulation, or
is just coincedence?

At this stage SuSE is worse than Windows.
I have RedHat on the machine also and everything is stable there, so it
is not hardware.

Any ideas where I can start to look for the problems?
Special log files, tracing I can enable that will tell me what happens
just before the thing dies?

Special monitoring software?

Anyone?

Please?
