I have Compaq Presario v2404us (consider it HP) Turion based. FC6 x86_64
installed. Is is equipped with ATI Radeon Express 200M videodapter which
I use with opensource drivers. I experience regular daily crashes (1-2
times per day) with kernel panic (blinking CapsLock led, darks screen,
non-responsive system). I did not notice any correlation between the
crashes and my activity on this laptop, it can happen equally under
heavy load as well as right after waking up the machine from the suspend
mode.
kernel version 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6
familiar symptoms huh?
note, I did not have such problem using FC4 on this machine for the
whole year.
because of kernel panic, I assume I can't catch any output in the log
files about the cause, can I?
-- regards, Oleksandr Korneta /The nice thing about standards is that
there are so many to choose from./
I attempted to reproduce the problem earlier today by going through the
same set of actions that preceded the lock-up I described earlier. The
system is still running normally at this time. I'll give it a little
bit longer (overnight) and see how it's doing tomorrow.
My experience with the laptop is pretty much as you described: I used it
extensively running FC4 with no problems. This is the first "random
crash" since installing FC6. I am running ndiswrapper with the Windows
driver for my Broadcomm wireless NIC so the system is "tainted." The
only way I can use the bcm43xx wireless drives is if I disable security
on my AP which I'm not going to do.
Cheers,
Dave
