My Toshiba P25-S507 P4 2.8 running vanilla 2.6.0-test9 occasionally
freezes. The freezes occur during events such as closing or opening
the lid or removing/inserting the power adapter and sometimes during
halt.
The freezes are reasonably rare. Occuring perhaps once every 3
days or so.
On the other hand, I have not been able to force one. Purposely playing
with the power or the lid switch I have not been able to cause the
freeze. However, everytime it happens it has been associated with one
of the actions listed above.
I believe the freezes do happen with earlier 2.6.0-test kernels,
but they seemed more rare then.
I don't recall a freeze ever occuring with 2.4.20-gentoo-r5.

These are ACPI events (at least lid and power adaptor). So, are you
compiling in ACPI support? If so does it still happen with acpi=off
kernel command line option? Do you still have keyboard when it freezes?
If so, alt-sysrq-p or alt-sysrq-t show anything useful? And, finally,
you aren't using an nVidia binary only module for that GeForce are you?
thanks,

Yes I use APCI support.
Ah, I have been trying to use 'noacpi' so I guess I have failed to
turn it off. I'll give 'acpi=off' a try.
The keyboard is as dead as the rest of the system.
I am running the nVidia binary module.
I'll run 'acpi=off' for a week or two and then try the nv driver.
Thanks for the help,
