A brief tale of two systems. System 1: Barebones "server" install running basic OpenSuse with SSLExplorer and nothing else. System uses EXT3. Installed initially with OpenSuSE 10.0, and upgraded successfully with zero issues to 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and now 11.0. System runs great. System is a VMWare-Server guest running under VMWare Server on a host running Windows 2003. Machine CPU is Intel Pentium III. System 2: Full Gnome desktop install. Uses ReiserFS. Initially installed with 9.3 (I think!). Successfully upgraded to 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 with zero issues. System runs by itself (it is not a guest nor does it host any guest OSes) on an AMD Athlon XP 3000+. Recently upgraded to 11.0 which brought on the onset of the problem. The problem manifests itself with random system hard-freezes (no keyboard response etc ... have to power-cycle). Originally it appeared that system would freeze when running Gnome as a non-root user (about 4 freezes within 30 mins of coming up). Then that seemed to go away after removing powersaved but that was a fluke. System stayed up for about two or so days and then froze up again requiring a hard start. On startup, system ran ok for about 30 or so minutes until put under load (DVD recode) when it would freeze up again. Rebooted system to command line (had to run fsck a few times to recover from the hard starts). Logged in as root, put system under load (rpmbuild -ba --clean xorg-....server). System froze up again within 2 minutes. At this time I am at a complete loss as to where the issue lies - do I blame ReiserFS and convert (backup/restore) the system? Do I downgrade (backup/restore) to 10.3? Any and all (within reason!) ideas are welcome.
