No panic messages, just freezes up solid. we just bought a DEC XL590s with NCR SCSI, 16 MB, Seagate 4 GB drive, Diamond Stealth , SMC Ultra, GUS sound card (now taken out), and I have been getting freezes running 2.0-950412-SNAP. I thought it was this machine, since it is easy to lock the keyboard (require a complete power cycle) with or without the PS/2 style mouse enabled. I had it up for over a day with internal and external caches disabled, but it was soooo slow, I would have shipped it back if I have to run it this way. Since I have been leaving it in X when I leave at night, for giggles I left the monitor on and it lasted the night. I enabled the process accounting so I can tell when it locks and it is doing anything important - nothing but atrun is being done. I also ran a simple script that keeps track of output from /usr/sbin/swapinfo to make we are not exceeding swap, but that was of no help. I think the key is in the cache settings. --mark.
