I have lived through some lock ups in the recent past, but that's |
2 |
because I've disassembled my desktop from it's case and assembled it |
3 |
at my working table. Since both PS/2 ports of the mobo are on my mouse |
4 |
pad (yeah, short cables, tight space), I eventually pull some cable os |
5 |
slap my video card. The first time X.org locked up, but ssh'ing from |
6 |
my Maemo phone did the trick (had to disable kexec and reboot from the |
7 |
bios, though). The second time I couldn't do that, my video card |
8 |
cooler fans stopped, and I had to pull the power plug and wait a few |
9 |
moments. That time I thought that some money would be spent on a new |
10 |
motherboard or video card. But rest assured, no computer components |
11 |
were harmed in those accidents. |

Ending the off topic, I had lock downs and headaches when messing with |
14 |
reiser4. I'd say that recently built experimental code in the kernel |
15 |
is something that would trigger lock ups. |
