Hi all, I need some assistance with my brand new 8.2 Pro system. Until a few days ago I ran 8.1 Pro and was happy. Then 8.2 came out, and for some reason I decided I wanted to upgrade. I did a clean install of 8.2 Pro and everything looked ok. But after a few hours my system was hung/frozen. I restarted it and let it run overnight with no apps running. Hung again. Looked in log files and can see nothing special. The last thing I see is in /var/messages where it's a MARK entry from cron. But nothing in the other files. And by freezing I mean solid. Nothing short of a PWR Reset will make it move again. Nothing has changed since 8.1 hardwarewise, I have: AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz 640 MB RAM 40 GB Samsung HD Asus DVD-ROM Plextor CD burner ATI Radeon 8500 Soundblaster Live 5.1 Intel Express NIC 10/100 I've tried both with and without ReiserFS, ext3, acpi, apm, dma. A couple of reinstalls to make sure everything is proper. I'm currently running with ext3 and all the "fancy" options off and vga=normal. Athlon kernel and the CPU temp is 40-50C. Looking in Google and this list archive I don't find any really good ideas as to solving my problem that I haven't tried. Any suggestions as to what else I can try before either going back to 8.1 or turning it all into ext2 ? (How long would a fs check take for 40GB on ext2?) Anyway, it's a lesson learned to not upgrade just because there is something newer available :-) thanks in advance, Anders
