1-3 Freezes a day...

is keeping me running the kind of stable OS that I know Linux can be.

 

All of these problems are new to me. I used to run SuSE 7.2 and 8.0 without ever having to reboot. So I rushed out to buy 8.1 when it was made available. It froze really bad and quite often. So I was not impressed and thought I would Mandrake another go. After install I was immediately impressed. Mandrake has matured since I used to play around with it in my early days of Linux. The problem is I am still experiencing one to two freezes a day. Keyboard, screen, harddrive, mouse, cdrom...everything freezes and I have to perform a hard reboot. I think it may be a problem with x, but I'm not too sure.

 

I am running a 750 AMD Duron on a Jetway 663ASPRO KT133 chipset mobo, with anATI PCI Radeon 64mb sdr.

 

I don't know if it will be helpful or not but I have copied the error log from /var/log, because the times I have "froze" are directly related to the times listed in the log:

I am not so much a "Newbie". I am more of a regular user. Linux is all I run here at home for everything. One thing is for sure, I am not an expert, but I am trying to learn. Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated, and the more you can break down what I need to try, the better.

 

Thanks in advance

The above are not errors and are normal

This sugests a bad config error in your /etc/fstab file.

Please post the contents of /etc/fstab

Btw What version of mdk are you running now ??

anon,

 

I am currently running MK 9.0

 

Here's the file as requested:

 

/dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1

none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0

/dev/hdb6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2

none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hda,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

none /proc proc defaults 0 0

/dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0

 

Thanks for your quick response. As you might imagine this is driving me nuts !?!?!

 

BTW do you think =nopentium might help? I am using LILO as my boot loader, and I'm not really all that familiar with editing it.

Here's my /etc/fstab file in the event it helps. It's all reiserfs file systems though.. I take it you had to set your bios to look for hdb. Where did you install lilo to during the installation process?

This really sounds like a cooling problem and that your heatsink / fan is dirty,not powerful enough, or not working. You should open the case and see if the fan is working properly and also clean out any dust or debris that could be clogging the fins of the heat sink. I'd also check that there is a good amount of thermal paste between the cpu and the heatsink.
