Description Byron Hale 2005-05-06 09:06:36 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050416 Fedora/1.0.3-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.3

Description of problem:
All my SMP kernels crash randomly on both kde & gnome, but not in a command line environment.  I have run kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.i686.rpm extensively in a command line environment without any problems.  Running kde or gnome freezes the system, locking out the keyboard and mouse, requiring a hardware reset.  The time-to-failure variation suggests improper initialization.  Perhaps it's not in X, but the way SMP relates to them. I'm unable to figure that out.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.667.i686.rpm, kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.i686.rpm & apparently xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.13_2.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm (currently installed rpms)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot either SMP kernel.
2. Log on under gnome or kde.
3. Work away, for a variable time.
  

Actual Results:  The caret froze (stopped responding to the mouse and didn't move otherwise).  The keyboard became unresponsive so that I was unable to change to a command line or reboot other that via a hardware reset.

Expected Results:  The mouse and keyboard should have continued to respond.

Additional info:

I have tested this carefully and discussed it on Fedora Forum.

This is technical support request, not a bug report.  You're not even
using Red Hat supplied xorg-x11!

Use the Fedora mailing lists for technical support, and if you need additional
assistance use the xorg mailing list.

Don't file bug reports in Red Hat bugzilla for 3rd party software.
