This past weekend I upgraded a smooth-running RH9 to FC1. After upgrading and applying all of the updates such as glibc, I have begun experiencing complete system lockups. Hardware: Motherboard: Supermicro P6DGU (440GX chipset) CPUs: Dual Pentium III 500MHz (Katmai) RAM: 768MB Drives: 1 x 9GB Seagate and DLT-4000 on motherboard AIC7890 2 x 20GB Western Digital on onboard IDE (requires ide=nodma to boot) 1 x 10x DVD-ROM on IDE primary channel as slave NVidia GeForce 4 MX440 SB Live! Platimum (emu10k1 primary sound+MIDI) Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (add on MIDI bus) 3Com 3C905B The symptoms: Each morning at 5:01am localtime (Central TZ) the system locks requiring power off, restart, filesystem check, and metadisk resynch. In addition to the consistent 5am lockups, I have had 3 instances of lockups at other times. The only noticed symptom then was high load on the CPU at the time. Suspicions: Cron/Anacron kicks off cron.daily at 4am central. Some process then is causing enough load to lock the system around 5am. The system is already 100% busy with SETI@home and some extra process is causing load that locks the system due to a bug. I did see one note that said the 2129 kernel fixed some 440GX bugs? This morning I did update to 2919 kernel which I am fervently hoping has fixed this problem. Thanks in advance for any help that can be lent to fixing this. -- Exile In Paradise I consider the day misspent that I am not either charged with a crime, or arrested for one. - "Ratsy" Tourbillon
