| From: Langdon Stevenson <langdon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | My Fedora 7 system is running well, except for the nasty habit of freezing two | or three times per day when I am working. Your symptoms are non-specific: lots of diseases have the same symptom. So you need more information. You can read a few of my messages to the list about things to try. - when a lock-up happens, try to ssh in from another computer. If you can, then it isn't a kernel crash - boot with kernel parameter "maxcpus=1". This may suppress the problem. Not a great long-term solution because you lose the use of one of your cores. - use a serial console to discover what's bugging your system - use kdump and clash(8) to grab a dump when the kernel crashes and then analyze that dump. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-June/msg03592.html
