Hi,

Greetings:
It has not been a good week.
As I mentioned yesterday I swapped my hardware into an identical box as
my original machine.
Which hardware did you swap ? HD, memory, alim ?
Today I powered up the box, logged on to the net,
downloaded the latest
Csound CVS and started compiling. After a few minutes everything froze
again, the machine was locked tight as a drum.
Did you look at your system log ?
I had to pull the plug to
restart, but when grub came up my keyboard was frozen.
I pulled the plug
again and got my keyboard back after restarting.
You should look your temperature
when it freeze and if possible when
running.
Now I'm running memtest again. I realized yesterday that I'd run it on
only one RAM stick so I thought I'd better check again. However, at this
point I'm starting to suspect a bad drive.
You can eliminate this possibilities
using a live-cd distrib like
Knoppix which runs in memory.
But *two* bad drives in the
system ?? As I mentioned in an earlier message, the
machine failure
occurred regardless of which drive I was using (RH9 on /dev/hdb, FC3 on
/dev/hda).
It could be a problem with dma ? what about hdparm ?
So I'm bummed again. Looks like it's time to bite the bullet and buy a
whole new system. :(
All your system should not be bad.
