Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-07-12 11:58:31 UTC
Are you using reiserfs ?

Comment 2 Mario Mikocevic 2001-07-12 12:06:19 UTC
No !

Partitions are _only_ ext2 :

64M /boot, 1G /, 1G swap, 13G extended
	4G /usr, 4G /var, the rest /home

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2001-07-12 12:10:45 UTC
This might be a powermanagement issue. Could you try booting with
"noapm" typed on the lilo prompt as kernel parameter (eg "linux noapm")
to see if that works around the problem ?

Comment 4 Mario Mikocevic 2001-07-13 13:20:04 UTC
Yep, works with 'noapm' .
I'll try to compile vanilla 2.4.6 later .. When I get time I'll experiment
with BIOS options too ..
