Machine Lockups

For what it's worth, I'm getting the same thing on at least one of my backend machines, amazingly almost exactly the same hardware, different os build. KnoppMyth R4 Asus A7N8X deluxe Amd Athlon 2400+ CPU 512 MB ram 160 Seagate HD Nvidia GeForce3 Ti-200 video card Not sure what causes it, but it's REALLY locked up. My SSH sessions have frozen, no new connections accepted, machine locked. Same two keyboard lights flashing as well. It's the scroll lock and caps lock, btw. What makes me think it's a software issue? This machine, same config, will run 3dmark03, etc, for hours on end, no lockups, under XP. Llove to know what it's being caused by. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Lee" <mythtv[at]theleehouse.net> To: <mythtv-users[at]mythtv.org> Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2004 12:54 PM Subject: [mythtv-users] Machine Lockups

This may or may not be mythtv related, but it's happening while using myth, so I'll start here. I'm trying to do a slideshow in Images. After a few pictures (the number varies), the machine locks up hard. Sometimes I get a pattern blinking at me on the keyboard lights, but sometimes I don't. If I hit the power button, rather than having to hold it down for several seconds, the machine immediately powers down. Syslog shows nothing that might indicate what is going on, and, since the machine is locked up, I can't check the console to see if there is a kernel panic message. Here are the specs on the machine: Chaintech 7NIF2 MoBo AMD Athlon 2400+ CPU 256 MB RAM 160 WD HD Fecora Core 1 kernel-2.4.22-1.2197.nptl kernel-module-nvidia-graphics6106-2.4.22-1.2197.nptl-1.0_6106-59.rhfc1.at nvidia-graphics6106-1.0_6106-59.rhfc1.at kernel-module-ivtv-2.4.22-1.2197.nptl-0.1.9-27.rhfc1.at ivtv-0.1.9-27.rhfc1.at mythtv-theme-photo-4-6.at mythtv-themes-0.15.1-74.rhfc1.at mythtv-theme-abstract-0.20040610-1.at mythtv-suite-0.15.1-40.at mythtv-theme-purplegalaxy-0.20031214-3.at mythtv-theme-visor-0.13.1-4.at mythtv-theme-gant-0.pr1-2.at mythtv-backend-0.15.1-74.rhfc1.at mythtv-frontend-0.15.1-74.rhfc1.at mythtv-theme-Titivillus-0.20040619-3.at mythtv-theme-sleek-0.35-2.at mythtv-0.15.1-74.rhfc1.at mythtvsetup-0.15.1-74.rhfc1.at The file systems are ext3 on the OS partition, and ReiserFS on the videos partition, in case that matters. The photos I'm viewing are on the ext3 partition, and there are 262 pictures, in case *that* matters. The box does not appear to be hot, as it feels very cool to the touch. If anyone has any thoughts on what might be causing this machine to lock, I'd sure love to hear them.
