From: Steven Cole To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain Organization: Message-Id: <1049904293.24463.25.camel@spc9.esa.lanl.gov> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.2.2-3mdk Date: 09 Apr 2003 10:04:53 -0600 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I don't know if this should be considered a Red Hat problem or a kernel problem, but here it is anyway. With kernel 2.5.67 or 2.5-bk-current and Red Hat 9, if I try to do a graphical log out from either KDE or Gnome, the test machine locks up hard, not responding to pings, or alt-sysrq-anything. (and yes, /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq is 1 and I "fixed" /etc/sysctl.conf, line 13) The same lockup happens with ctrl-alt-backspace from KDE or Gnome. Doing an /sbin/init 3 works fine. Harsh way to log out however. Subsequent cycles of startx and graphical "Log Out" do _not_ lock up the box, but work just fine. Needless to say, with the vendor kernel, everything works perfectly. Alt-sysrq-various behaves as expected. Ctrl-alt-backspace does not lock up the box. If I get time, I'll try some older 2.5.x kernels to see if this is a recently introduced behavior. Steven
