Last time I experienced something like this was on a desktop which had |
| 10 |
incompatible memory modules fitted. Trial and error resulted in me removing |
| 11 |
all but one module and the crashes miraculously stopped! Knoppix alone would |
| 12 |
not cause any crashes whatsoever, but as soon as updatedb and an emerge were |
| 13 |
to take place simultaneously, the system would crash. In particular, it |
| 14 |
would usually crash when the memory of the modules was about to be exhausted |
| 15 |
and the system was going to start writing on the swap partition. It wouldn't |
| 16 |
happen every single time, but towards the end it was happening every time I |
| 17 |
booted the darn thing up. |

I hope this helps. |
