I have tried all different patchsets (mm, ck, cko), and all produce the same behavior. 2.6.8.1 does not produce the behavior. Basically, after a few minutes, the kernel hangs, and interrupts are apparently not working as the keyboard leds don't respond anymore. I recently swapped out a cdrom for a dvdrom drive, and was able to use it fine for a while with ck4 patched to 2.6.10. Then I got gutsy and tried the mm patch for 2.6.10, to start using reiser4. That was when the kernel started doing this hanging. One surefire way to trigger a hang is to start a dvd with mplayer: the dvd reads the first few frames of any dvd, then hang; however, hangs happen randomly otherwise. I am running KDM as a login manager, and X obviously when this happens, but without DRI. I also have tried going back to vanilla kernel, reformatting my drive to reiserfs3, and an otherwise previous state, but the kernel still hangs. I even unplugged lots of stuff inside the PC to see if it was a current draw issue, but that had no effect; besides 2.6.8.1 works (although X got really really really slow and jerky for some reason). I made sure all the CFLAGS were unset before compiling, and this is with gcc-3.4.1, as have been the past umpteen kernel builds for me. I think I screwed up my system, or triggered some obscure bug, but please send any ideas my way, and CC gregdavis@ieee.org as I am not subscribed to the list. Thanks, Greg Davis
