* The Purple Tiger (Jon@tigersden.demon.co.uk) [021012 14:56]: ::My Athlon runs at 48 deg Centigrade consistently [according to the BIOS when I frequently reboot due to issues with kernels/windows ;o)] :: ::My impression, after much tweaking and hardware changes, is that it is the 2.4.x series of kernels. There seem to be no problems with 2.2.x kernels on this - no lockups for at least 24 hours, but when I changed to 2.4.18 / 2.4.19 it frequently freezes solid. :: ::Maybe mine is a different issue, but I do not know. :: ::On another note - I have another machine which has a :spit: Cyrix 333 with a not fantastic gfx card [2d only, 1 MB on it!], 64 MB RAM running SuSE 8.0 as a mailserver/DNS server/webserver. Not one freeze.... :: ::Maybe the 2.4.x series of kernels have some issues with a piece of hardware and X? :: Well, since this is the same version of X but a different kernel that could be the issue. But starting Mutt froze it the last time. So I don't know. If this freezing shit continues then this is no better the Wintendo as far as I'm concerned. Now the bloody printer is spitting out garbage no matter what I print. Oh this is just one hell of a day. I have not had this many stupid issues since SuSE 6.0 or WinNT 4.0sp2. I'm at loss this borders on the stupid. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I tell you what you should see.
