Still continuing after dumping the nvidia drivers and upgrading to the latest Redhat kernel. Anything else I can do? I am not subscribed to this list, please cc me with any response. Thanks in advance for wading through this. 1. Linux consistently crashes running grip. 2. Grip 3.0.1-1 is a graphical X frontend for a variety of CD ripper and MP3 encoder programs. When it is only ripping CD's everything is OK. But when it is ripping and encoding tracks, the system will die shortly after the ripping operation finishes while the encoding operation is going on. The time till death is variable, it has ranged from 5 seconds to 5 minutes on one occasion, but it always crashes. It happens with two different encoders (notlame and oggenc) and two different rippers (cdparanoia and cdda2wav) The quickest way to induce a failure is to make one pass ripping tracks and a second pass asking it to rip and encode. It is smart enough to realize the tracks have already been ripped and doesn't do much beyond checking that they are all accounted for. But my system still crashes. Nothing whatsoever appears on the system console when it crashes. Just locks up solid. It should be noted that this system has been crashing with the same symtpoms sporadically for over a year, generally about once a day. Not surprising for Windows but less that I would expect from a Linux system. What has changed is that I can make it happen on demand. It is, unfortunately, highly improbably that some will be able to reproduce this on another system, but I might get lucky. Failing that, I would be happy to do any testing or debugging on my system. I want to get this fixed. 3. Misc information root-/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-10>. scripts/ver_linux If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version. Compare to the current minimal requirements in Documentation/Changes.
