Hi, I have a friend of my with a problem in a RH installation... but, I think it is not RH related. He is looking for some pointers. Hope you guys can help him (and win him to SuSE :-) ). The basic problem is that his machine freezes, leaving only the hard reboot choice. Here's his message: Ref: [HELP] Linux freezes up! Help... Yesterday I installed Red Hat Linux 6.2 on a Pentium III 600 MHz, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB IDE hard drive, Atapi CD ROM, IDE Zip drive, ViewSonic monitor (17 inches, model E71), SIS video card (model: 63263DAGP - 8 MB of video memory), soundcard 3D Cristal. I am running Gnome + Enlightenment. All seems to work well, except for one thing: Sometimes (actually, six times in only two days) Linux completely freezes up. Yes! When that happens, I am not able to kill X (CTRL+ALT+Backspace or whatever I try) nor am I able to telnet into my machine. In short, it freezes up, and nothing short of a reboot will put it back at work again. In some of the "freezes", I did not even have many applications open. What can be causing that? Could anyone please give me some pointers? Below is my /var/log/dmesg file, in case it contains any useful information. If you can help, please e-mail me at cribari@de.ufpe.br . Thank you in advance!
