linux-2.6.0-test1 freezes sometimes

[J. Hidding]

Hello,

linux-2.6.0-test1 freezes quite often. I think it's 
related with running a verry nasty Mozilla 1.4, but it's 
only a hunch. Is anybody else experiencing this problem?

Yes, me :(

They seem to be totally random (no mozilla, here): I use KDE
and they may occur while scrolling down a window, or while
typing in a shell session or whatever.

I couldn't find a way to reproduce it so far.

Note that they did not happen up to kernel 2.5.75, and they
show up with 2.6.0-t1 and 2.6.0-t1-mm1.

No clues in syslog or kern.log, simply a sudden hard freeze,
without particular HD or CPU activity before.

Bye!

When 2.6.0-test1 did it on me, I went back to 2.5.75, 
which took a nap after 2 hours, than to 2.5.73-mm2, and it 
also froze. Some behaviour it didn't show at it's own 
time, so I guessed it had to do with some recently 
installed software.

Same here. No clues at all why it froze.. I was just browsing my mail and

I experience freezes too, with recent 2.5 kernels, as well as i/o 
lockups (attempted disk activity freezes programs, but I can move the 
mouse, etc...). I posted an oops (kernel BUG) for the second here:

Are you using tcq by any chance? Just curious.

I'm getting very frustated right now, as I seem to be 
unable to find ANY kernel that doesn't freeze. (2.4.21 
this time) I'm beginning to think there's something wrong 
with my machine itself. How can I test my computer for any 
malfunctioning hardware (memory for example, or 
overheating)?

memtest86 for ram (let it run overnight) and lmsensors for temps.
