Now, following your advice, it is the mouse/keyboard which are seem to lock because I can ping the machine from the other computer.
Out of curiosity, while the 'freeze' was on, I plugged in a USB flash disc -- and it did not even react to being plugged in, ie the light diode on it did not flash to indicate that the flash disc was being read or recognised as a device.
Ciao.
On some occasions a ping will work, but nothing else. With sshd running "rcsshd start" if it's not started at boot, "ssh
" and see if it responds. That will be proof positive it's keyboard/mouse input loss. I installed both KDE3 and KDE4 at install time on the x86_box and I'm running under KDE3. I can switch to kde4 this evening to see if I get the problem. I just plugged in a USB stick which shows up in dmesg but isn't mounted. yasu:~ # uname -r 2.6.25-26-pae yasu:~ # rpm -qa|grep kde [pruned]
I finally found the time to return to that installation with both KDE4 and KDE3 on it- of course the freeze occurs after about 1 minute. I tried the ssh trick from the other computer and found that it's not just the keyboard/mouse which are locked up - it's the complete OS. Apart from ssh not working, smart was doing the check for upgrades (which it does immediately after login) and this 'froze'; at the same time the clock which displays seconds froze. So, everything freezes. The qualification to all this now has to be is that there have been some 800+ upgrades to 11.0RC1 with KDE4 which couldn't be put through because of the 'freezing' so the problem may have disappeared following the latest upgrades. I re-installed RC1 with KDE4 today and had the 800+ upgrades applied but I am not going to waste my time installing KDE3 just to prove this idea because I am not going to waste close to 3hours on having the upgrades done again if I have to re-install RC1 once more.
