Is it me or does this look like a kernel panic? Did the other lines look anything like: kernel: EFLAGS: 00010286 kernel: eax: ffaa0055 ebx: 00004100 ecx: 0075fc34 edx: ffff7c00 kernel: esi: 0147c810 edi: 315f5975 ebp: 00000000 esp: 0019da1c kernel: ds: 0018 es: 0018 fs: 002b gs: 0000 ss: 0018 kernel: Process swapper (pid: 0, process nr: 0, stackpage=0019d694) kernel: Stack: 0147c810 0075fc34 a8ee82ac 0075fc70 00000000 00145493 0147c810 0075fc34 kernel: 315f5975 00000034 001a2c40 0075fc20 0075fc70 00000000 a8ee82ac 001a3856 kernel: 001abecc 00000034 0013d6f7 0075fc70 001abecc 00000000 2101e584 00000034 kernel: Code: 8b 40 48 2b 43 48 79 0d 68 77 20 19 00 e8 f4 f5 fc ff 83 c4 If so, you've found either a kernel problem, or a hardware problem on your computer (probbly the latter). The stuff above comes from my logfiles, and the way I god rid of it was by setting my CPU speed somewhat lower (it was overclocked). You may have success with eighter increasing RAM wait times, or replacing your ram (if possible). > > I don't know if this screen information is useful, but I wasn't sure > what might be relevant. If it really is a hardware/kernel problem, then the version of debian etc souldn't matter too much (except that different debian versions have different kernels). -- joost witteveen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) #what's this? see http://www.dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/rsa/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
