Re: Lombard hard freeze (still there)

I am wondering if any of the developers who do kernel
related work on LinuxPPC have any suggestions for us
on how to deal with this. If I knew how to do the
debugging work and trace the problem to its root I
would.

I have not come to any idea what is causing it.
Several methods of trying to encircle the

You can look it up in the webarchive.

I _have_ a Lombard running without problems.  So

just some ideas which

might give you some more information.  Maybe you

should try to work from

the first virtual (text) console (ctrl-opt-F1).

If the kernel panics

(which is does very likely) it will emit this

information there, but you

will NEVER see it if you are in X, and it does not

necessarily go into

quoted

/var/log/messages.

The hard freeze's low temperature prohibits all
output.
Never got any error message.

Did you check the serial port drivers?  I rember

there were some problems

quoted

if you use the serial.c under LinuxPPC.  You do

not need it, the right one

quoted

is macserial.c.  I could trigger panics on the

Lombard and on my old 7300

quoted

by just typing "cat /dev/ttyS0 > /dev/null".

Yes I check the serial driver, built a kernel
without usb and
serial support at all. But the symptoms are still
there.

I have 192 MB of RAM though and a 10 Gb drive ,
these are the only
differences which I think my machine might have to
other lombards.
