Perhaps a bugzilla should be filed on this, then; a package or set of packages isn't being upgraded cleanly?Edward Dekkers wrote:Sam Chen wrote:It was more stable in fc4. The system is Asus P4R800-V Deluxe Motherboard with P4 3.00GHz CPU hyperthreading. 1GB ram. I noticed that in fc4 the hyperthreading made it unstable, so I disabled the hyperthreading function; however, it does not help in fc5. It keeps crashing. I can count 20 times a day. Before the new patch 2.6.16-1_2080smp, it was fine, but after the patch, it is totally different. the kernel now even with 2054smp is unstable. I am still wondering if wine or httpd cause the problem. Now it is like every 30-45 minutes, I have to do a hard reset.Hard reset necessary is more likely a hardware fault than a software one.You're welcome to keep diagnosing the software, but if I were you I'd look at hardware as well.It's my job diagnosing system faults (nearly 10 years now, where has the time gone?) and hard locks are 90% of the time due to flaky hardware.I have two essentially identical FC5 partitions on my machine. If I use the one that was an upgrade from FC4, it freezes 2 or 3 times a day. The one that was a fresh install of FC5 has so far not frozen at all. They are both up to date and have essentially the same packages installed. So, I conclude that it isn't ALWAYS hardware.Gerry
