From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT) Description of problem: I did a completely clean install of 7.1 on an HP Vectra VE with a Matrox G100 card. Occasionally on system shutdown 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. The keyboard, mouse On reboot I normally have major disk errors to clear up. I have not (yet) applied patches to the RH 7.1 install. How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the machine, with KDE as standard desktop 2. Shutdown Actual Results: Problem happens irregularly--1 out of 5 times. Other times the machine does not display the deamon shutdown, but displays a RH splash screen and shuts down. Expected Results: Machine shutdown Additional info: I wonder if this could be a timing issue, with some services needing proper time to disconnect / shut down? That could be jsut my ignorance, though.
Do you use the graphical boot (runlevel 5) or do you boot into text mode (runlevel 3) and use startx?
I start in runlevel 5 (graphical login). The machine is pretty much vanilla at the moment, and I am willing to assist in experimenting / trying things.
Does it do that, if you use startx instead of booting into runlevel 5? Can you attach X server logs, and config files? Also, please attach kernel log /var/log/messages from after a hang. Please trim it down to the last 10 screens or so of useful info. Thanks.
