The hang was traced using a PCI analyzer and I found that the driver, loaded as a module, was taking a route which called panic. I changed /proc/sys/kernel/panic to a non zero value and the machine started to reboot on PCI hang. My problem is I never see any output on the screen or in /var/log/messages. All the stuff I have looked at in /usr/src/linux/Documentation suggests the messages should be here. I am running a 2.4.0 kernel with a SuSE 7.1 installation. At the hang time the system is running kde 2 and in a command winow I have a tail -f /var/log/messages running. The first change I see is the PC bios startup. Please Help Simon. __________________________ Simon Haynes - Baydel Phone : 44 (0) 1372 378811 Email : simon@baydel.com __________________________ - 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/
