When you have a second box around you could configure netconsole (see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/netconsole*) and see if that catches an oops. Or use a serial console. I will try a netconsole. A serial console is not an option since I have no serial port on this laptop. Please correct me if I am wrong, but even with a USB/serial adapter, there is too much USB stack in the way to configure a USB serial console.
Last night I installed kernel-default-2.6.22.3-7 from Factory (as well as all the updated packages.) This kernel ran about 30 minutes before a lockup. I then added "irqpoll" and tried again. This time the -default kernel ran for 5.5 hours until I shut it down. This morning I tried again without irqpoll and once again had a lockup after about 30 minutes. I am currently running with irqpoll again and will see if it runs all day without a lockup. Assuming irqpoll works around the issue, why does a -vanilla kernel work without irqpoll but -default needs irqpoll? (I have already considered ndiswrapper and I removed the kmp when I found that -vanilla worked) I will try get a list of additional drivers that get loaded when running -default vs -vanilla kernel. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
