Re: RedHat 8.0 and random system freezes

[Chuck Streible]

I'm currently diagnosing a home PC problem regarding a system lockup. Mine's a Compaq motherboard, and the system was regularly freezing under Win 2k. I loaded Linux, and it froze-up every now and then, too. I've borrowed an Intel motherboard and have been running for several days now without a freeze.

Just some food for thought.

I've seen similar problems on my Duron system. It's irregular, though, so it's hard to pin down.
Do you have access to your Magic SysRq keys? You might want to dump core after a lockup, and submit a bug. If it won't even do that, you probably have an intermittent hardware problem.
