hi
please help!
my Debian system , (Pentium 133) which has run seamlessly for 5 years
(thru several upgrades of SW and HW)
is now totally unrealible , and has been for 15 days :
from time to time, apprx once a day,
it suddenly freezes , for no apparent reasons; then, it doesnt even respond
to ping from the net
I have tried many approaches :
1) cleaned the heatsink and the fan (which actually had stuck, but now
is running fine)
2) tried changing : video card , motherboard & CPU, memory , ethernet card
( I work in a university, we have a lot of old spare parts)
so I am left with no ideas of what I should do, my last chances are
1) change HD (but this one was bought 3 months ago !)
2) buy a new PC altogether
3) bang my head on the wall (yes, when it crashed on friday evening after the
3rd total rearragnment of HW, I had that temptation)
the only sign that I have had are some 'general protection faults'
from the kernel which I cant 'decrypt'
I am running kernel 2.2.18 ( Debian packaging)
I attach a file , may you please tell me if that message
can suggest a solution to the prbl
thanks thanks for any hint
a.
