Slackware 13.1 hangs on every 15 minutes
Sorry if there is a such topic, but I'm in a bit of a hurry.
So the situation: I have a small Slackware gatway/web server/mail server. Few days ago I upgraded it to 13.1 and from this morning I have the following problem: After restart the server works for 15 minutes (htop showed max uptime of 15 minutes 15seconds) and than it hangs (or at least the ssh/web/imap connections are lost) I have checked all logs but there is no problem! Neither in syslog, nor in messages. The inittab is set to runstate 3 ... I have stoped all services I don't nead ... |
Have a look in the /etc directory at any /cron.*/files and see if anything there runs at about the 15 minute mark.

Nothing there ... the only crontab is root's.

Processor sleep states?

Trying to recompile kernel ...
I hope it wont hang ... CPU is Pentium 4 |
It works exactly 15 minutes and 15 seconds ... no metter what!
|
You stated or at least the ssh/web/imap connections are lost. Does the machine actually hang, or does the network drop connection, then reconnect? If it's the network which nic? One of those buggy intel e1000's with a bad eprom?
|
It is the whole system!
The problem is I don't have fisical access to the machine (it is 500 km away). I only have hands and eyes there ... |
A wild stab in the dark, but it may have something to do with this entry in /etc/rc.d/rc.M

Tommorow (that is later today) I'll test it ... you are probably right, dough ...
|
It's not that ... deamn! I'm going out of options ...
|
If you lose the connection how can you be sure that it is a system freeze? Couldn't it be just losing the connection? Maybe you should take a second look at the network settings.
|
Easy - seted up a cron job to reboot the mashine ... it didn't. So the system is not operational ...
|
How about trying the boot options acpi=off and/or noapic? It would have to be a weird hardware problem to occur exactly after 15 mins 15 secs but who knows...

Finally, as you are running a server, did you make a full installation and if not what you didn't install? I'm asking because it could be that you didn't install a new library. |
