Nothing else works? > I am seeing similar sympton on both BBB and RPi. It occasionally hang hard. Neither video (on RPi) nor serial console works, and nothing printed on console in prior. It usually happens during or after heavy loading works. e.g. build world, build big application from ports (graphics/graphviz in my case). During or after the heavy works, some simple actions could cause system to hang. "Simple actions" includes creating a new window in tmux, executing a command like 'ps ad' in another tmux window, or simply typing incomplete command in shell and press tab to trigger completion (I use tcsh). I can tell these actions caused hangs because I have clock running on tmux status line. To me it seems to be related to memory management stuff, or locking. But this is only wild guess. Jia-Shiun.
