Is the system on a network? When the system freezes ( I assume you mean the desktop becomes inactive ) can you ping the machine--- from another machine on the network? Can you get to a black screen console... using the key sequence ctrl+alt+F1 ? (be patient, if the cpu is being hammered it might take a little bit) If you can get to a console then login (again, may take a while if the cpu is being hammered) and run the "top" command. See if something is hogging cpu or memory... also could try ps ax and try to determine which process is taking over the system. It is highly unlikely that the kernel will "freeze". -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
