OK. That time I tried several reboots and it locked up at the same place each time. So I switched it off and had lunch. Now it's working again and I'm running some fscks with bad block tests.
It seems to me that the 2.4 kernel shipped with SUSE 9 is not stable on this hardware (unless there's a hardware bug!). Does anybody know of any other 2.4 versions (or compile options) that might help? How stable is the 2.6 kernel that ships with SUSE 9 - is that safe to use for a normal user's desktop machine?
This looks more like a hardware problem, most likely the PS. I had a similar problem recently and it was the PS.
I don't think so because (a) somebody else has the same problem on another machine (b) I don't seem to get the problem with the BIOS in Legacy mode, or (c) in W2000 or (d) in SuSE8.2 or (e) in Knoppix, all of which are on the machine. Cheers, Dave
