>Description:
The machine which is a dual PIII "locks up" after a day or so when it is compiled with an SMP kernel. I have been unable to duplicate this with a UP kernel. When I say lock up, the following things occur.
- Screen goes black.
- Keyboard becomes unresponsive [Numlock/capslock] don't toggle lights on the keyboard.
- The machine becomes unpingable and ssh into the machine no longer works.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am interested in helping resolve the problem but don't really know what information to provide. Any guidance would be appreciated :)
>How-To-Repeat:
I haven't found a way to repeat the problem consistently, it just happens within a day or two.
It doesn't seem to occur with any particular application, it has happened with only X running and no users on the machine. It has also happened with many applications open and me interacting with it.
