When I updated to Feb 5 world/kernel (after the crashes in a row for
several months), I did extensive testing and found the crash gone.
The test procedure did incremental cvsup over the time range of
01.01.2002 - 30.12.2002 in steps of 1 day. It took quite a while
(day or so) and generated astonishing amount of I/O on the
problematic disk/filesystem. I ran the test for two times, to be
sure, with XFree and usual apps/activity running and without. No
crash. But it's still there, today I got one and it happens
_exactly_ on the same conditions. Got to work in the morning, did
startx (no xdm) and KDE started up, fired up several ssh sessions
and read my mail with mutt, then started cvsup to catch up the
"bleeding edge". While cvsup running, switched to free workspace in
KDE and started up Phoenix, to read Daemonnews... at the very moment
the Phoenix window appeared on the screen, the system crashed.
For now I quess it's somehow related to XFree/Phoenix/cvsup combo,
because I remember the last ten (or so) crashes quite well and I
_was starting or starting to use_ Phoenix the times the crash
happened (and cvsup running as well). Can it be related to mga.ko
module or somesuch? I don't do any DRI or 3D myself, but perhaps
Phoenix does something behind the scenes? Just wild guess.
