RE: Psyche hangs with rack-mount Dell 2650 in multiprocessor mode?

No, we didn't load any windowing packages.  Thanks, though.  I wonder why
you recompiled your kernel.

We swapped the 2 CPUs, hoping the problem would migrate to the first
processor, but it still hangs in multi-processor mode (and doesn't in
single-processor mode), so we'll be calling Red Hat tech support in the
morning.  I'll relay any news.

Are you by any chance running X w/ screensavers enabled? I had a problem w/
my 8.0 installation crashing hard - total freeze, nothing in the logs (that
I saw, anyway), etc. The machine was largely idle also, and it was a Dell
(albeit a desktop model), though I'm sure some of the hardware is the same.
Anyhoo, the crash only happened while the screensaver was running.

For me, the problem went away once I recompiled my kernel, though to tell
you the truth, I don't know the difference(s) between the stock 8.0 kernel
and the one that I built.

HTH
