Re: Consistent complete lock up with 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 and vuescan

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Andrew, hi Ed!

The problem persisted with 2.6.8-rc4-mm1, always (repeatable 100%) after
around 30 scans the computer freezes completely. Not even sysrq works.

But at least what I could check was that it is not a memory problem,
there is still enough swap free (close to 1G).

So what can I do, any ideas?
