As I write, I've just fsck'ed one of the new partitions on that drive and the system has locked up when I tried to fsck the second partition :(
Anybody got any ideas on tracking this down?
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?
