From: sdh@po.CWRU.Edu (Scott D. Heavner) Subject: 0.99.7A Locking (another report) Date: 29 Mar 1993 23:29:39 GMT
Linux 0.99pl7A has been crashing (well, all the terminals lock,
and I don't see the HD light blinking). I have no idea why.
It always appears to be in an X session, but this is where I
do most of my interactive work. I can leave the system running
for days (a weekend) on its own and it seems to do OK.
I did manage to get some info out of the Xconsole and
my syslog file, but I don't know as they will really help
(I couldn't get anymore info, since everything locked up).
Oh, It's not just the console that's locking (although
I've managed to do that through my own stupidity). I've got
my roommate's computer hanging off a serial line, and that
locks too.
