List, Per,
Continuing on in the guest to what is causing the ever present, but
random instability in my 10.3 install on a Gigabyte N700SL board, I
captured the following processes while the system was rendered useless
by what appears to be cron gone mad. I have no funcky cron jobs, and my
best guess is cron went south as the result of a hardware instability
related to the Gigabyte mb that I have installed.
It's not memory and it's not power supply. Both fresh and changed, but
the same instability continues. The instability was present when the box
was a mandrake 2005 server, and the exact same instability remains under
10.3. Nothing fancy here. Just a simple dm-1 dm-2 (2 250G Seagate) md
raid 1, dvd drive, old ati xpert 2000 card (it is a text mode machine)
and a 20G Maxtor as sda that holds the swap only. Here is what I found
running after the machine went south today:
