Examine the log files, /var/log/messages updatedb should not be able to cause such a lock-up itself. But the increased system/disk activity can cause unstable systems to fail.

E.g. run your RAM chips through memtest86 (=> Google), keep an eye on your CPU and system temperatures. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/DDVl0iMVcrivHFQRAiu/AKCEwN+L6fsbddyf5DsVCdq33O2mwQCeIKDL 1Thc7YGhSgLP/SZ491AtBkE= =r1s+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
