Description James Morris 2008-06-20 01:24:14 UTC
I have a T60 which was recently upgraded from F7 to F9 via anaconda, and is
currently updated with the latest RPMS.

Most nights, it hangs some time after 4:46am (which is around where the last
syslog or cron log message is).  I've seen this in the last few F9 kernels (all
since upgrading to F9).

I thought it might be the mcelog cron job, and disabled it, but it still happens.

By hang, I mean, the system is entirely unresponsive, nothing on the screen,
doesn't respond on the network or to keyboard/mouse/anything.  I have to unplug
DC power and remove the battery.

The laptop is docked and has an external monitor attached, with the lid closed.

I haven't see this problem since posting the bug.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2008-06-30 22:21:19 UTC
weird.  I was just reading about the thermal problems some of the other
thinkpads have had (the x60 in particular) at
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=36873

Has the ambient temperature changed notably recently that could affect it ?


Comment 3 James Morris 2008-06-30 22:28:28 UTC
If anything, this is the coldest the machine has been.  I cleaned out some dust
a couple of months back, which lowered the cpu temps from 63C to 43C.

spooky.  oh well, reopen/file a new bug if it misbehaves again?
