I'm seeing my system freeze on heavy IO. Only the reset button brings it back to life again (ALT-SysRq-b also worked once). I'm running SuSE's 2.4.18-30 on a Pentium III (Coppermine) with 256 MB RAM (yes, I should try vanilla 2.4.18, I will ...) No SCSI, all IDE. LVM and ext3. I don't get any oopses, no entries in /var/log/messages, nothing. I mounted the ext3 partitions with the debug option but still no messages. What options can I turn on to search for the problem? Any kernel boot options? LVM/ext3 options? Many thanks, Richard -- Richard Ems ... e-mail: r.ems@gmx.net ... Computer Science, University of Hamburg Unix IS user friendly.
