Walt, Check memory and power supply. If you're using a realtime kernel, that's a possible cause of lockup. And if you want to reboot more gracefully, use magic sysrq keys. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_sysrq Note that the instructions say to hold down alt-sysrq, but on my system, that brings up the window to take a screenshot. I have to hold down ctrl-alt-sysrq. Then press keys, one at a time, with a couple seconds between each: r - e - i - s - u - b (or other keys, if appropriate. See the chart in the wikipedia article.)

I have been experiencing freezes with Fedora 10. For no apparent reason, the machine just stops. No mouse, no keyboard (no ctrl alt F1 or ctrl alt del). I can only reboot with the on-off switch. Any ideas as to what I can check? Thanks! Walt
