That sounds like the kernel. At 4am lots and lots of I/O intensive things occur (reindexing the locate cache, removing dead files from /tmp and so on) If it was a BIOS bug I'd expect it to occur at arbitary times when the box is idle not the morning after - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
