| |
Today, my dual Celeron 466 (not oc'd) hanged strangely: - the network doesn't work as far as I can tell - in X, the mouse cursor moves normally - I can switch between xterms and type stuff - any fork() seems to hang forever, so I can start any process - many things seem terribly slow (such as typing stuff to xterm) - if I move mouse, it seems to speed things up! For example, I have blinking cursor in gnome-terminal that now blinks _much_ faster (almost normally) if I move mouse. - if something beeps (pc honker) the beep never stops - disk access is very slow or never completes
When the hang took place, the box was completely idle. It had worked perfectly under varying load for 46 days without reboot.
This has happened before, with different kernels >= 2.2.14. I'm now running 2.2.16pre5+hedrick ide patch+reiserfs+lm_sensors.
HW: BP6, 2x466Celeron, 256MB, 3 ide harddisks (one on hpt366), 3c905b, es1370, geforce.
I don't think this is BP6 specific, since I reported this once on linux-abit mailing lists, and nobody reported having seen this.
Has anybody seen this? Any ideas what could cause this? How could I debug this?
