and I can't recompile it in debug mode... it seems to only happen when I have an external program associalted with a link... specifically .torrent files...
sigh
at least my network is stable now...
but firefox itself still hangs (doen't take down the system)
]]>this is not to say that firefox may not have issues, but i don't experience them. but firefox did help make my problems come alive as it certainly was using the ndiswrapper module.
don't know what to say about your bad experiences in general with firefox. i can say you appear to be the exception, because i know lots of users of firefox since it's first release and they only problem i ever had was one release .9 or something has bad https support. maybe something else on your system just doesn't like it.
]]>looks like 1.0rc2 of the ndiswrapper works okay for now. i've also reset my scheduler to 'as' and my compile times seem to have come back down to normal.
if anything changes i'll let you know
let's hope I can ssh long enough to rebuild before it panics... otherwise I'll have to wait till tonight
EDIT: rebuitl, rebooted.... gonna ssh back in when it comes back up and attempt a pacman -Syu (which failed last time)
]]>if anything changes i'll let you know
]]>The goofy thing is that my machine only seems to hang (the more I think about it) when doing some decent network traffic... web browsing with flash and stuff, pacman -Syu'ing, etc....
I think you may have hit the nail on the head, at least for my problem, that it may be ndiswrapper... I'll diagnose tonight
i just looked though, and they released 1.0 rc2 today, so i'm going to give that another try, i'll let you know tomorrow.
oh, and uh.....
which begs the question.... what's the password?

login: Kernel Panic!

]]>using elevator=as.
no problems so far.
interestingly, using the anticipatory scheduler on this p4HT laptop makes everything slower, compiling time is about double for my projects.
try a few more days and see.
]]>i just died running with the elevator=noop param. but while firefox was not open. i was checking something into cvs. so now it's down to the wireless driver or tcp or io.
going to try wiring in for a bit and giving that a try.
nvidia would explain the issues... especially if firefox is involved, cosidering it's rendering alot of disparate information (text, colors, images, moving thingies....) I'm going to check nvidia for similar issues to mine though
(my original issue was that firefox just hung and I had to manually kill it as root to make it drop... now in 2.6.10 it locks the whole machine)
