A couple weeks ago I did a fresh install of 8.1 (replacing my 8.0) and since then the system freezes up 1-3 times a day. There is no response to keyboard or mouse and I can't telnet in from another computer.
The freeze ups appear to be random; for awhile I thought it might be mouse related because it seemed to occur on a mouse selection but since then the system has frozen at least three times w/o mouse activity.
About all I can say is it so far has not occured within first hour or two of reboot and I _think_ konqueror is usually running (but then again, I almost always have a browser window open...).
I've run YOU several times so presumably I'm running the latest and greatest patches.
Can anyone give a suggestion on how to track down problem? So far I've been lucky with no apparent system corruption (been using ReiserFS) but these lockups are getting pretty frustrating.
TIA, Patrick
Did you update the kernel? This supposedly fixed the problem for most people. I'm not sure of the actual cause of the problem though. -- Franklin Maurer nebbish@sprynet.com Using SuSE 8.1
