I ask because, running FC3, I find that if I stick with the old kernel-2.6.11-1.27, I'm doing well, but running any of the released kernel-2.6.12 packages (currently, I have 2.6.12-1.372 installed), I've been experiencing system freezes, after 2-3 days of uptime. Unfortunately, nothing shows up in dmesg, /var/log/messages, and with screen blanking, I can't see what was on the console, to get a better idea of what is going on. I've reverted back to 2.6.11-1.27, for now. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org:2000 To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
