hi, i am running a suse linux 9.3 x86_64 maschine with kernel version 2.6.11 (from package). my problem is that it sometimes locks up, where sometimes means it can be occur between 24h or several weeks. i even thought it was gone after changing some hardware (hdd, power supply) because it didnt occur for a while, but it did now on 2 following days. it is also possible that these lockups are not the same, meaning this maybe is a new problem. (one backup hdd was really broken and causing problems) the maschine does not respond to any input then und nothing is in the syslog. yesterday i got a message when i was logged in via ssh on console which said: kernel: general protection fault: 0000 connection was lost then. this reminds me of the win98 generic exception ;) i really want to know a bit more precisely what the problem is, especially if it is a software or hardware problem. what are the actual debugging options, opinions, recommendations? yours vb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
