Hello,
I am experimenting system freeze at random times since I updated to Mandrake 10.0. This appears:
1) every time I run a disk check after rebooting from a crash (after checking a random amount of the disk, 5% to 95%)
2) at run time, randomly, most time within the first few minutes of use
The point 1) seems to suggest there's a hardware problem, but it is very hard to locate since the system really freeze (num lock and cap lock don't respond, mouse is frozen, everything seems to stop, when the hard drive is active, it keeps being active and the other way round). I even tried to reinstall the distrib from scratch but it didn't change anything. Did anyone got the same problem, or has a idea about how to locate the problem more precisely?
I'll try to describe some of my configuration here:
CPU: Athlon XP 2600+
Motherboard: MSI K7N2G-ILSR
Graphic card: Assus radeon 9600XT
Hard Drive 1: Seagate Barracuda ST380011A (80GB)
Hard Drive 2: matrox 6Y080P0 (80GB)
Linux is on the three last partitions of the first hard drive.
I had the Mandrake 9.1 version installed and there was no problem, so it is really strange... I'm not sure what to do now, has anyone got any idea?
Thank you
Nicolas.
