Not sure if this is related but when our system "froze" the box was pingable, and you could switch virtual consoles... however, you could not type anything on the screen or connect to any sockets. Num-lock would still work so the box wasn't solidly frozen. This used to happen a couple of times every week or two. We've since then compiled the kernel under the BSD scheduler to rule that out, and so far so good. (our box was a Dell PE1750, 2GB of RAM, amr RAID controller, bge network driver) The primary application was just ntpd and apache with mpm_worker & threads. Since ULE is now default in 7.1 and not in 7.0, perhaps you can try that? -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor@inoc.net http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/
