ihavenoname · 2006-02-08 04:12:02

Hmmm i have an idea.....my wireless card has a "sleep" mode feature...where it turns itself off after being idle for so long. do u think that for some reason its coming on and messing things up??? because ive noticed that alot of things mess up if i unplug the card while it is on....and would acpi have anything to do with that? I dont have this issue with anyother linux distro so w/e it is is probably something related to the way arch handles somethin......any ideas???

Possibly.

Did you tried using the latest stock kernel with the "acpi=off" option? You could also try to downgrade your kernel to 2.6.14.x. I only had these freeze with kernels of version 2.6.15.x

well...hmmm it seems arch has stabalized...even through reinstalls and xorg 7.....i still have no clue what it was thou i suspect the archchk kernel was doing something my comp. didnt like.....in fact Arch is now ..seemingly ...very stable....although i have probably jinxed it now...well just thought id update this....

It's weird, i have never had hard freezes with either Arch, ubuntu, debian freebsd etc... and i have (almost) the same laptop as snowman hmmm i think it won't freeze for you if you turn acpi off, try booting with

acpi=off

(just add it to the end of ur kernel line in grub/lilo)

Drop it you two, needless flaming and grammar nazi work is not needed here. It's not slashdot, it's not digg.
