In this context, I'd like to add that yesterday I had another crash
of the kind that I described back in July under these subjects:
Solid crash of 2.1.111
Again: Solid crash of 2.1.111
This time it was with 2.115. Right after I had manually sync'ed the
machine as a safety precaution, but before the disk had completely
come to rest again. I also had a vfat ZIP disk mounted that did not
get synced in time.
Considering that for me the most visible effect is that suddenly X
is gone and replaced by randome garbage, it seems to me that indeed
there must be a link to the X server. Or at least the graphics
stuff (vesafb and friends, maybe?)
If only I knew how to trigger it on demand... IMHO this one really
should get fixed before 2.2 gets out. Right now I don't trust my
box at all.
