Re: seemingly random lock-up with kernel 2.2.17p7

This has me puzzled. I'm not sure if it is a kernel panic or just X
freezing since it never leaves anything in the logs. Has anyone had this
problem? It seems to happen most often when I am listening to mp3's
although it has happened a few times while it was just sitting there
doing nothing.

Also I am using BootX. Someone mentioned that the kernel is unreliable
with BootX. I have not experienced any problems (barring the one that I
mentioned) with it. What sorts of things are likely to happen? What is
the upgrade process like to go to one of the newer bootloaders?

yaboot is only useful if you have a newworld mac.

Did you try killing the X server (ctrl-command-option-backspace) ? Does
it work ?
