[opensuse] random lockups!
Hello all, I've been running 11.3 without issue on a few systems for a while now. However, I have an ION ITX (Atom processor and NVIDIA chipset) that is giving me problems. It locks up randomly after a few minutes, or sometimes a few hours of use. I use it as a MythTV frontend, so it only gets USB input from an IR receiver and uses NVIDIA display drivers. Everything was working perfectly before I upgraded from 11.1. I'm running kernel 2.6.34.7-0.5.1 32-bit with the latest NVIDIA drivers (I've tried several other version of NVIDIA drivers too). Can anyone help me here? Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Khanh, There have been a number of users (me included) that have had problems with the 2.6.34 kernel. In the past 3 weeks there have been at least two threads giving the steps required to update to 2.6.36 from the kernel:/HEAD repository and howto install the nvidia drivers with the new kernel. I think you would benefit from installing 2.6.36. Remember to set the multiversion flag in /etc/zypp.conf so that you can install 2.6.36 without removing 2.6.34. (You will have to replace the 2.6.34 kernel source with 2.6.36) See the thread: Re: [opensuse] How to upgrade my kernel?

Khanh, it may not be necessarily video driver it could be wireless,ethernet,etc... i suggest you boot the kernel with the 'nosmp' flag and see what happens you can also unload specific modules to narrow it down to the hardware/driver that is causing the issue and it could also be an incompatible/buggy userspace application.
but like david said earlier you should upgrade to 2.6.36 just in case it's the kernel itself. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
