From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: My machine gets frozen randomly. Here are some of the observations. 1. Happens more often when I am browsing in Mozilla and scrolling when the browser is working to load a new page. (I am not sure if they are related, but just an observation). 2. Sometimes this has happened when the screensaver comes on. 3. Happens sometines a couple of hours after boot up or sometimes after a few minutes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.4 / 2.6.5 Fedora rpms's How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Random. I do not have steps to reproduce at will. I am trying to see if I can get something specific. Actual Results: Machine freezes. ie. no response to any event at all. Only solution is to kill power and reboot. Additional info:
Some additional information: I booted in init level 3. Now I am in text mode, no X loaded. I then created a batch script that pinged the network PC and did yum update every 5 minutes. After about an hour, I noticed the machine had frozen up. So it seems that it is happening even if X is not loaded. The above was repeatable on both e100 and eepro100 module. BTW: The same machine runs FC1 rock solid with no problems. Next I have booted in init level 3 and disabled networking. Also unloaded the network module. I have now kept the machine running on some load. (a script that keeps doing dmesg and logging it to the file continuosly). It has not crashed so far. (Past 1 hour).
05/09/2004 I disabled networking and booted into int 5 (Graphical Mode). Unloaded e100/eepro100 modules. Opened a lot of windows. Wrote scipt to make clean/make bzImage in a loop in the kernel directory and kept it running overnight. The machine did not freeze. I am now reasonable confident that the lockup is related to the network drivers (or maybe the network code).
