Random... lockups, oopses, sig11... but nothing useful because is happens in random places. Ok, so the answer is no. Maybe the hw is faulty. It's the only kernel I used on this mac.Strange. I haven't been reported such problems. Can you try an older kernel just in case ? Could also be bad ram...I tried 2.4.22 and I replaced the RAM. Nothing. Digging in the oops collection I found this one which doesn't look very nice: Jul 23 21:37:55 localhost kernel: Machine check in kernel mode. Jul 23 21:37:55 localhost kernel: Caused by (from SRR1=20009030): L1 Data Cache error I'll send the machine back for repair, altought I think they'll not even notice the problem because it happens sporadically :(((
Well... I'm not 100% sure the message is correct, though from what you say, it seems indeed there is a CPU fault... What CPU is this exactly ? (/proc/cpuinfo) Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
