i have a reproducible system freeze using SuSE 8.0 with original kernel 2.4.19
(same with SuSE 2.4.18 kernel).
Hardware:
Asus P2B-Dual with 2x PIII 700 MHz (Bios 1013 - current)
896 MB RAM
Promise PDC20267 off board IDE Controller (current bios release)
aic7880 scsi-controller for CD-writers
nvidia graphic card
RTL-8139A based network card
/dev/hda: _NEC DV-5700B DVD-ROM on piix onboard controller, ide0
/dev/hdc: IBM IC35L060AVVA07-0 on PDC20267 ide1
/dev/hdd: IBM IC35L080AVVA07-0 on PDC20267 ide1
/dev/hde: IBM IC35L060AVVA07-0 on PDC20267 ide2
So far I have had a complete system freeze once a month, but now i started the
oracle installer and then this freeze happens within a minute during
installation and can be reproduced. But the freeze does not always happen
exactly at the same action. The system gets unstable first, so that for
example a bash gets a "segementation violation". But then some seconds later
the system will freeze and i have to power off.
I tried the following:
- run memtest86, everything OK
- stopped most of the other services
- started oracle installation from a remote X server, so that there is no
XFree running on the SMP-mashine, only xdm without local X-server
- tried boot parameter "idex=serialize"
- tried ext3 and reiserfs as file system for the installation target partition
=> no changes, the system still freezes.
I haven't done any kernel programming so far, but i would be able to give more
input, if someone has an idea what to do.

(The oracle installer copies data from hdc11 / reiser to hdd1 / ext3)
