My 2.1R system is suffering from frequent virtual terminal, console and X 
freezes. (about every half hour) I dont think the whole system is freezing, 
as I often still see td/rd activity on the modem indicating that an ftp or 
something is still going on over the ppp link. I only have one computer, 
so I cant try to telnet in to see if anything is happening. The only way 
I have discoved of escaping from this is to hit the "reset" button.

This is a new problem - the system has been very well behaved for about 
five months now. I cant think of anything I have changed that could 
be causing something like this. Nothing obvious shows up in the logs 
(not that I really know where to look).

The system is a 486DX2-66 noname with AMI BIOS, Soundblaster-16 + Creative 
2XCDROM, 2 x IDE conner 420MB hard disks, 12MB Ram, 1MB Trident SVGA, mouse 
systems mouse. It is running stock 2.1R everything, and has Linux emulation 
compiled in.

In which logs should I look, what should I look for, and is there some 
sort of extended logging I should turn on to try and sort this out ? 

Thanks
