Hello Aurelien, the trouble is that I suspected various causes, and eliminated them all: - the /var/log/messages and syslog are empty for the minutes preceeding the crash, only occasional '-- MARK --' lines - it's not linked to thermal overrun, as I kept the CPU clock frequency low enough to not overheat the laptop - last, I performed the same simulation under bochs: it is much slower, but I didn't get a single lookup. Setup: block device and network emulation are exactly the same than under qemu OTOH, I didn't experience lookups recently (in the last 3 month) in any other circumstances. So maybe qemu is triggering some hardware or kernel bug, how to debug ? Pascal Dupuis -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
