Two days in a row my fc5 computer has frozen soon after I start using it in
the morning.
[snip]
However, I have more information about the problem. I think I
misdiagnosed the problem...
it appears that the mouse/keyboard are not completely unresponsive...
they're are just
responding extremely slowly. I ssh'd into my work computer (the one that
is "hanging"
every day) from home last night. This morning before I came to work, I
tried to do a little
work from my ssh session. And it was messed up too! Things were running
very slowly.

My fc5 system hasn't "hung" in 5 days, so I'm hoping that something
that I've tried has fixed it.
Arg! It's still messed up. Same weird symptoms. Very slow to log in
I recovered from this state without rebooting this time. I
started killing processes and stopping services and finally
I did a telinit 3. After all that, the system was responsive
again. I killed all of the processes owned by me (so I could
stop autofs which automounts my home directory), then I
stopped autofs, ypbind, smartd, haldaemon, ???, and then
/sbin/telinit 3. I'm not sure exactly when the system became
happy again, but I think it was after telinit. I'll try doing only
that next time it happens and post the results.
