Description
Need Real Name
2001-06-25 17:35:53 UTC
I could have a related problem. To check my setup, I did a completely clean install of 7.1 on a free partition and that show the same problem. I have a Matrox Productiva G100, on i686, and use the Gnome graphical login. Occasionally on system startup after a reboot, but about 1 in 5 times on logout back to the login screen, I have a complete system freeze. Before the freeze, the screen clears, blinks a few times as normal, then locks with a half blank screen, half random coloured pixels scrolling up the screen. On reboot I normally have major disk errors to clear up - quite a pain. On my main setup, I updated XFree86 to 4.1.0 and have kept up to date on the new kernel released by Red Hat, but the problem persists. I notice there are a number of XFree86 updates available but when I tried to install these I get conflicts so can't try these out. I tried to install the updated -SVGA component on the clean install but that had the same conflict issues. I have tried commenting out the Load "dri" line on my XF86Config-4 but this had made no difference. If I can help track this problem down, just let me know. This is driving me nuts!

XFree86 config file, as requested. Cash log to follow after next crash.
It looks like I've solved my problem with system freezes on logout. I upgraded gdm from gdm-2.0beta2-45 (that came with Red Hat 7.1), to the latest version from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/latest/redhat/i386/Base/ i.e. gdm-2.2.2.1-1.i386.rpm . I had to uninstall the old version first, it would not upgrade. Since then, I've not had a single problem. My system was up for seven days (then I had to move house) and its been up a couple of days since then. May be my problem was not related to the others. Thanks, Paul Broadhead Yes, please file separate bug reports. Adding data that might be relevant to a report is fine, but if there is any data that is definitely not the same, it is time to file a second separate report, and if there are different problems, file multiple reports. If a problem is deemed the same by us, we can mark it as a duplicate. We cannot however split one report with 5 bugs in it into 5 bug reports. Never report multiple bugs in a single report, because when one bug is fixed that is deemed to be the main bug the report will be closed, and the others will not be tracked. We need to track individual bugs separately. That is very important. As a side note, we have gdm 2.2.3 in rawhide. you should likely check there first for updated packages. If this problem only occurs with an Adaptec SCSI controller, it is almost certainly kernel related. Arjan, can you comment on this at all? As always, I need log files to analyze, before and after a crash. Please attach X logs, and a /var/log/messages that has had any private info shrouded. Assuming you are no longer experiencing this problem now, since you havent provided the files, so I'm closing the report. If the problem persists however, and you are using XFree86 4.1.0-15 which is the current release of XFree86, and all other updates we've released as well, please reopen the report, and provide a file attachment each of your X server log, X config file, and /var/log/messages using the file attachment link below. thanks. |
