OK, the system just locked up completely. I had to power-cycle it.
15mins after it had booted, the same thing as described previously
happened, so it's not really related to something that accumulates over
time. I'd only just logged into gdm and loaded an IRC client before it
froze.
I managed to do some rough timings of the freezes.. they went on for 3
or 4 mins, and the system remained frozen at 100% kernel CPU for about
15-20 seconds at a time (I think I was measuring 25 seconds, then 20,
then 15 for the last minute or so). Afterwards, the system responds
normally.
I will checkout the latest CVS (proper 2.4.19 etc) and see if that makes
any difference. Any idea if it is likely to?
