I'll try this... Look at bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109497 which has been open since November and is ending up with the consensus that it is a problem with the Fedora stock kernels.... People with this bug report that if they run 2.4.24 from kernel.org, they have uptimes of over a week without problems. I was also leaning towards trying the 2.6 kernel but that is a major hassle for me if I can't get X up at all due to the seg fault I had from updating the Intel graphics driver. > -- > Find your answer without waiting for replies.... > Searchable list archives at > http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&r=1&w=2
