Hi, I had 2.6.13 lock my machine three times within a hour each after upgrading to 2.6.13 (last time within 5 minutes). The machine was running 2.6.12.5 (and earlier releases) without any problems, so I'd suspect it's not a hardware issue. Problem is that I don't find any trace of this lockup anywhere in the usual logfiles. Symptoms are that screen, keyboard and network is frozen (i.e no screen refresh, even numlock does no longer toggles the light, and ping from another machine does not work anymore). This is a standard 2.6.13 kernel running on Debian unstable. New features I enabled were INOTIFY and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY instead of PREEMPT: diff -U0 =(grep '^C' /boot/config-2.6.12.5 | sort) =(grep '^C' /boot/config-2.6.13 | sort) | grep '^.C' -CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y +CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=m +CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=m +CONFIG_FLATMEM=y +CONFIG_FLATMEM_MANUAL=y +CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP=y -CONFIG_HAVE_DEC_LOCK=y +CONFIG_HWMON=y +CONFIG_HZ=250 +CONFIG_HZ_250=y +CONFIG_INOTIFY=y +CONFIG_IP_FIB_HASH=y -CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL=y +CONFIG_NFS_COMMON=y -CONFIG_PNP=y -CONFIG_PNPACPI=y +CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x100000 +CONFIG_PM=y -CONFIG_PREEMPT=y -CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y +CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y +CONFIG_SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL=y +CONFIG_TCP_CONG_BIC=y I know that that's most likely not enough to pinpoint the problem, so I think I need to get more information from the lockup itself. What's the best way to do this? As the keyboard is locked up too, even Alt-SysRq does not work. Best, Norbert
