Any suggestions?? Can you post the output of uname -r ? I had a problem with the 2.4.22-1.2140.nptl kernel with my Athlon XP and nforce2 chipset. I looked in /var/log/messages and did not see any errors, the monitor did not show a sync signal (like it's in suspend), and the system was locked up hard (no response from Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-Delete), and I could not ping the machine. This happened several times within an hour and a half. Seems like it happened when I was browsing or downloading from the network. I went back to the -2135 kernel, and my machine has been more stable, but recently has locked up while running a screensaver. I just upgraded to the 2149 kernel, and disabled a lot of the screensavers, so I will wait and see what happens. It looks like I was seeing the same problem you were seeing when I was on the 2140 athlon kernel. Are you using alsa drivers, or the OSS drivers that come with FC1? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAG+n4L6ubqSVs8LERAm20AJ4pGFBkvNnCcNpyFnD8wi0XLdgG4wCfeizd MJrlAcfgnNDYcXE71jo8zUA= =Wyk9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
