system freeze..!! any gurus out there? :)
Hello,
I am running RH9 2 ( 2.4.20-8custom) and have a PCI-to-PCMCIA adaptor on my PC, and am using a EV-DO card (somewhat like a wireless card). My problem is that the computer freezes TOTALLY.. tehres no logs for the freeze.. nothing is logged in the kernal messages.. conr is not doing anything..
The onyl thing i am doing is polling the evdo card ever second (using PPPD). This system freeze is totalyl random .. ranging from 2 minutes from the startup to 8+ hours. I have no idea whats causing this.. any ideas?
If not then can anyone tell me what other places can i look for suspicious activites? as in whats the hardware.. i tried doing a cat /proc/interrupts> log_1 every second.. and that didnt tell me much. Is there anything else that i can monitor that will tell me about the freeze or what application or hardware iterrupt that caused it?
or what are the possible reasons taht linux freezes? (i know it doent freeze much for sw problems) is there a list available anywhere?
Anything else that i can try? I am running out of ideas ..
Thanks for ur help,
rohan
