Letting my little Toshiba Satellite download an opensuse install DVD (at 20 KiB/s so I can use the other half of my wonderful bandwidth for work), after it has been up over night, if I mount my desktop box, and try to install a kernel to later test, laptop goes comatose. It might be workqueue related. Interrupts are still happening, I can ping and poke sysrq-c, but box is completely useless. I got kdump working again (finally), and crashed it this morning. Now a few hours later, it fails to repeat of course, _seems_ it requires me leaving it alone for an extended period to repeat. I've switched kernels a few times, and it _seems_ to only happen with 3.8-rt, though I can't really be rock solid about that, can only say 3.8-rt has jammed up a few times, and no other kernel has. When make modules_install install hung first thing this morning, box was responsive enough to fire up top, which displayed nada. Desktop then froze, so I crashed it. Seems completion ain't gonna happen. Trying to repeat, now that I can crashdump the thing again.
