I have here at home some problems with linux on my computer .
Iīm using the distribution from suse , version 6.0 , kernelversion 2.2.1
.
i have already asked in several mailing lists , but as the only result I
got your mailing list adress .
Okay , to my problems : The kernel v2.2.1 works really fine , all
devices seem to work fine .
But sometimes keyboard and trackball stop working , and the system runs
on for some minutes .
The only possibility after this is to make a cold reboot .
The consequence is missing data . Thats not fine !
At other times the system simply freezes . Nothing goes more .
Even a poweroff via the poweroff on ATX mainboards does not work ( I
have posted this already to the mainboard manufacturer - hope that they
answer )
A cold reboot works ( this would be really serious )
Iīm not able to say if wether this is an application that causes the
crash or a kernel error .
One idea in this direction is netscape v4.5 , that seems to be a little
buggy .
Or possibly StarOffice V5 , but viewed from statistics , StarOffice was
only at one crash running in the background .
And I should analyze the behaviour of X11AMP . this prog seems to bee a
little obvious . There are four x11amp processes in the process list .
why ?
Okay , hereīs a list of my used hardware . I donīt know wether you need
it or not , so thereīs it listed .
Mainboard :Gigabyte GA686DLX + aic7880 uwscsi onboard
memory : 128 megs of sdram , pc-66
processors : P2 ,
: CPU1 ID:0652 Patch ID : none ,, Core : Deschutes
: CPU2 ID:0634 Patch ID : 0033 ,, Core : Klamath
Graphics : diamond fireGL 1000 pro agp
network : a ne2000 clone by realtek : rtl8029 pci
sound : sb awe64
2 harddisks . one uw-scsi by ibm ( dcas(?) 4.3 gb, one ide, also ibm 4.3
gb.
scsi - cdrom and scsi cdwriter
and a zip drive on paralell port
keyboard and trackball are both connected to ps/2 ( keyboard via a din
=>ps/2 adapter )
Okay , I donīt know what information else you need . It a little to much
to post my configuration .
I hope someone can deal with this kind of problem , because i have no
more idea what can cause this .
One idea was that both CPUīs have problems working together, because
they have different IDīs and patch level .
But Iīm not a chipdesigner from intel .
Okay , so long goodbye
an thanks for your help
bye
