I've tried setting "nmi_watchdog=1" to see if I could get an "oops" when it hard locks - no dice. Do you know any other tricks I could try to see if it is the kernel which is locking up? I'm running SuSE's version of 2.6.8.
Have you enabled the kernel Magic SysRq key and tried typing that when it locks up?
sysctl -w kernel.sysrq = 1
When it locks up:
Alt-SysRq-? for help, then try dumping the PC, Tasks, etc. You may even be able to do an Emergency RO Mount and Sync before doing a Boot. _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
HI Chuck, That's a good idea which I've implemented per your suggestion. Now, I just have to wait for the next hang (hey, I could update the WLUG website with OpenOffice!). I'll keep you posted.
