Hi,
not sure if this is correct thread. I have acer extensa with 11.3 installed. Sometimes happens that system is completely halted and I can’t find a reason (nothing in /var/log/messages). Is there a possibility to adjust somehow logging to track down what’s goin on in such a case. When hang occures alo sysrq doesn’t work.
Thanks.
Marek
My experience is freezes are typically caused by one of the following
Problem is that it’s not systematic and no know method is working to reproduce a problem. It occured mostly from recover from suspend state (from disk). I try to run memtest to check memory.
Not being systemic is typically the problem in such cases, making this ugly to solve.
Running memtest is a good idea.
Another idea is to try a different graphic driver. For example, if using the proprietary nVidia or ATI graphic driver, try the openSource nv or radeon driver and see if the problem still happens. If it still happens then go for week with the very limited VESA or FBDEV (ie painful) driver and see if the lockups occur.
