Howdy, |

I just had a hard lock up. I had a random reboot the other day while I |
4 |
was sleeping as well. This was with gentoo-sources 2.6.39. I'm not |
5 |
sure what caused the one the other day but I had several days of |
6 |
uptime. The one I just had was also after a few days of uptime. I was |
7 |
logged into KDE when EVERYTHING froze. The mouse pointer wouldn't |
8 |
move. The clock stopped. The numlock light wouldn't even change when I |
9 |
hit the key for it. So, X was locked up pretty good. I also couldn't |
10 |
switch to a console either. This is the odd part. I tried to use the |
11 |
magic Alt SysReq keys to at least try to get a reasonable shutdown. |
12 |
They didn't work either. |

|
14 |
So, my question is this. What kind of lock up could keep the magic keys |
15 |
from working? This is on my new amd64 machine. It was totally stable |
16 |
until the kernel upgrade. I think this could be a kernel issue. I |
17 |
booted a older kernel and will test it for a few days but wanted to know |
18 |
what kind of lockups could keep the magic keys from working. After the |
19 |
hal/xorg deal, we all know how I hate hard resets. ;-) |

Thanks much. |
