Re: Kernel instability problem

If you haven't already, try disabling your sound... gaim will (by default)
play a sound when you receive a message, xine probably tries at least 
opening the sound device when it loads, and KDE starts aRts, I believe, which,
like Gnome's Esound, will open the sound device in order to multiplex desktop
sounds. Maybe there's a conflict somewhere brought about by ACPI (did you turn
off "Plug 'n Play OS" in the BIOS?).

And lo, upon Tue, Aug 13, 2002 at 12:37:51AM -0400, Jason Bowman spaketh thusly:

Hello all,

I have an HP zt1190 laptop, reportedly the same as the xt1100 series. I have 
found that whenever I use an ACPI kernel (I have tried 2.4.18 w/ 20020611 
20020726 patches) and run gaim my machine freezes. This also happens with 
xine. Gaim freezes when someone sends me a message, xine at startup. Running 
KDE 3.0.1 the display remains in a frozen state, nothing moves/changes/etc. I 
can't switch to an virtual desktops either.

Anyone have any clues? I would like to investigate why this happens and help 
to fix it, however I don't know what to try next. Pointers appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason B.
