Hi,
I'm using 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl kernel on an AMD Athlon 1G with 512 RAM. Ever
since upgrading the kernel version from the stock kernel, my machine suffers
infrequent machine hangs. Checking /var/log/messages doesn't show anything
out of place.
I added the following two options to my boot line in grub.conf
apm=off acpi=off
My entire boot line look like this:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2174.nptlsmp ro root=LABEL=/ apm=off acpi=off hdd=ide-scsi rhgb
However, your options may be slightly different.
Also, I disabled ACPI in the bios. This only became a problem for me with Fedora, I never had the problem with RedHat 9.0. Also, something must have changed recently, because I had corrected this problem before with the options spelled a different way. After making these changes and rebooting, I have not had one lockup.
