Hi All, Lately, I have been experiencing a random freeze issue on my HP compaq nx9010 notebook. I originally thought this may have been due to an over-heating issue as I had a similar problem last year, but replacing the heatsink compound fixed this problem. What tends to make me thinks its a linux problem is that my comp has never freezed in Windows (XP SP2). I have tested the memory (DDR SODIMM 512MB) with memtest86+ v.3.2. and it all comes up clean. I am yet to run the built-in HP BIOS HDD test, I will do this tonight, and let you know how I go. Once the freeze occurs I am unable to ping the computer's NIC. Am unable to switch to 'init 3' by 'Ctrl+Alt+F1', and unable to restart the X-server by 'Ctrl+Alt+Del'. Was wondering if anyone else could provide some insight ... perhaps a bugzilla report is required should a solution not be sought through this list. If anyone can suggest extra logs to post to this list / investigate. Just let me know. I have pasted below my /sbin/lspci -v output in quoted text below: > [tony@localhost ~]$ /sbin/lspci -v > 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS200/RS200M AGP Bridge [IGP 340M] (rev 02) > Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64 > Memory at d4000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M] > Memory at d0007000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K] > Capabilities: <access denied> > > 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc PCI Bridge [IGP 340M] (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) > Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 99 > Bus: primary=00, secondary=01, subordinate=01, sec-latency=68 > I/O behind bridge: 00009000-00009fff > Memory behind bridge: d0300000-d03fffff > Prefetchable memory behind bridge: d8000000-dfffffff > > 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 02) > Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 0850 > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5 > I/O ports at 1000 [size=256] > Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] > Capabilities: <access denied> > > 00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533/M1535 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV/V/V+] > Subsystem: ALi Corporation ALi M1533 Aladdin IV/V ISA Bridge > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0 > Capabilities: <access denied> > > 00:08.0 Modem: ALi Corporation M5457 AC'97 Modem Controller (prog-if 00 [Generic]) > Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 0850 > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10 > Memory at d0001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] > I/O ports at 1400 [size=256] > Capabilities: <access denied> > > 00:09.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4303 802.11b Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) > Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 12f3 > Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 168, IRQ 10 > Memory at d0002000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] > > 00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1410 PC card Cardbus Controller (rev 02) > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 11 > Memory at d0004000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] > Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=05, sec-latency=176 > Memory window 0: 30000000-31fff000 (prefetchable) > Memory window 1: 32000000-33fff000 > I/O window 0: 00001800-000018ff > I/O window 1: 00001c00-00001cff > 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 > > 00:0b.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
