Was it OK before you added a particular piece of hardware? If so, what hardware? Have you tried removing that hardware to see if the problem goes away? > What can i do to investigate this ? > A few things you can try : 1) Start by providing some more info. Some details on your hardware/software. Something like the following + whatever else you consider relevant : - name and version of your Linux distribution - output of the scripts/ver_linux script found in the kernel source - your kernels .config file - full dmesg output after boot - Motherboard name/model - output of cat /proc/cpuinfo - output of cat /proc/meminfo - output of lspci -vv - output of lsusb 2) Tell us what you have already tried in order to try and resolve the problem, including your results with the various things you've tried. 3) Try building/running a kernel with the various debug options found in the kernel hacking section turned on and see if that results in more details in dmesg/logs etc and provide the extra info if any. 4) Try building a 2.6.15-rc7-git4 kernel with the same config and see if that one also has problems. Make sure your hardware is OK, CPU not overheating, RAM is OK (run memtest86 with all tests enabled overnight) etc. Try removing all extra hardware components in your system you don't need for the system to boot and see if the problem then goes away. If it does, try adding back hardware one piece at a time and re-test, find out if it's related to a certain piece of hardware or a specific driver. That's all I can think of atm. With more info provided (as pr the list above) perhaps someone else can point to more (or better) things to try. -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html - 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/
