Hi Pete,<div> </div><div>Perhaps you could enable SSH (sudo aptitude install openssh-server) and ssh into the machine to see what's happening when the system freezes again.</div><div> </div><div>--aneiros <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 10, 2010 at 5:45 AM, pete <<a href="mailto:peter.smout@o2.co.uk">peter.smout@o2.co.uk</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> On 07/07/10 14:56, A.

Kromic > Hi, This problem has reared it head again, his machine only had 'wobbly windows' activated. good news this time i was there to check the logs! the system log said it was running 'cron' as root then it stated that 'no one cares, try booting without irq module' prior to freeze up. All of which means nothing except that we do care! a brief bit of googleing only digs up posts from 2001 / 2002 and are far to technical for me to follow! so my question is this why has this old (?) problem resurfaced now and only on his machine, would following such an outdated solution work on newer versions? any help at all we would be grateful!
