I recently loaded Fedora Core 1 on an Intel Box. It's a pretty standard
box.
I am running behind a proxy that required authorization, but I got that part
working fine. I can do an up2date -l with no problems.
However, when I do an up2date -u (or use the GUI), it runs through the
procedures, but when it starts calculating the rpm dependencies, the machine
hard locks. You can't ping it, Control-Alt-Delete, no mouse movement, no
response to keyboard, it's locked hard.
I would also like to mention that I was running BSD/OS on this box before
with no problems for months, so I think it's unlikely that it's a hardware
problem. Since Linux has more advanced networking capabilities, I would
prefer to run Fedora.
What do I do to figure out what's causing the hard lock?
Any advice or suggestions greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
<> Jim
I am attaching some info on the box in case it's helpful:

cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
Additional comments:
There is no cdrom in the drive.
I also tried disabling bridging and just using one active NIC (all others
set to down) to see if it's something with bridging. No difference, still
hard locks. Also seems to hardlock with some screensavers although this
I've seen before. I think some 3D screen savers cause problems with certain
video cards/drivers.
