Hi List, Last week I bought an Asus A8V motherboard with an AMD64 3000+ and installed SuSE 64 bit on it. So far, not to my satisfaction however. This week, I've had more hanging systems than the previous 5 years. I've been consistenly able to reproduce a system hang by doing the following: - Installed SuSE 9.2 64 bit - Start an ssh session to an external machine - Start an ssh session from the external machine back to your own machine - Generate some actions, for example a few directory listings Every time, the machine completely freezes. My machine uses SuSE linux with out of the box openssh, the remote machine uses commercial ssh (I didn't have any openssh machines to test if the same problem occurs). After looking on the net at first I figured it was an issue with the onboard LAN adapter, so I disabled it and added a second Intel E100 pro. No difference, still locks up. By now, I've disabled pretty much everything I could think of that might cause the problem (onboard sound, onboard lan, onboard 1394, onboard via SATA chipset, powersaved, etc) The only "strange" things I've noticed on the install were that php-swf fails to install with an error (but I didn't really need that, so I just deselected it) and that irqbalance is started by default but fails, so I disabled that too. I even went so far as to install a new kernel (home built 2.6.11) and still got locks. Anybody experienced something like this and have any hints as to where to look? TIA, Stefan
