I started out with the 3.1-RELEASE on cdrom. I would get what seemed like a successful installation. The system would boot fine, and everything appeared to work--ethernet, ppp, apache, perl, etc. Then, after a few hours, the system would hang--it would just stop with no warnings, requiring pressing the reset button to reboot. So I decided to try 2.2.8-RELEASE on cdrom. Same result. Installs fine, seems to run fine, then hangs, seemingly at random. There doesn't seem to be a pattern as to what the system's doing when it hangs. It hangs while it's busy handling cgi scripts, ftp stuff, telnet stuff, etc; it also hangs, after a fresh reboot, when it's just sitting there doing only its own internal stuff. I've tried many installations, including bare bones ones with no extra ports, no ethernet setup, no ppp, just the os and its default daemons. Same result. Here's my hardware: Intel PII 350 6.4G Western Digital AC26400R Shuttle Hot 661/p 440 BX main board (pci) 64 M SDRAM internal modem Teac CD NEC floppy Trendware PCI network card (DEC-based) Matrox G200 Video card All hardware appears to be recognized properly at start-up. I have run diagnostics on the hard drive and reformatted it. No bad blocks are found by Western Digital's diagnostic utility. Can someone give me some clues about where to go from here? Could it be an irq thing? Something related to pci? What am I missing? Pat -- Patrick McNamee spimac@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
