I've recompiled the kernel without ACPI, APM, and the Toshiba Laptop Support modules (apparently that Toshiba module won't work with the Phoenix BIOS that's used on some models).
It seems ok so far :?. The fans have spun up three times without the system freezing up. Only time will tell, I guess. Will let you know if the problem persists.
]]>The whole thing will just randomly freeze up on me to the point where ctrl+alt+delete and ctrl+k have no effect. This has happened multiple times, in CLI, in Flux, in Gnome and in KDE. There really isn't any specific thing that I'm doing to trigger it as far as I can tell. I doubt it's anything having to do with xf86, since this has happened when I'm in command line and watching pacman download packages (no mouse or keyboard input). The very first time it happened was while I was using pacman to do a system-wide upgrade after base install. It's also not a networking problem because the freezes have happened when I click on various things in KDE.
At first, I just attributed it to Windows being in sleep mode on the other paritition (oops :oops:), but cleanly shutting down Win didn't seem to lessen the number of freezes.
It's a Toshiba Satellite, similar to my other laptop. The processor is a 2.0 Ghz Pentium 4. I might try recompiling the kernel sometime since I was in a rush when I did the install and didn't pay too close attention to the modules I was selecting and deselecting. In the meantime, feel free to leave some suggestions on what might be causing this.
