Lockup Journal

I have an Averatec 5500 series laptop running Debian Etch. From time to time, the system locks up. I decided to keep a log of the lockups to see if I can figure out the problem.

• 01/30/2008 First recorded lockup.
  • Before this lockup I…
    • Ran MemFree86 boot test. RAM is okay.
    • Got 2.6.18-6-486 kernel.
    • Manually installed RT2500 1.1.0-b4
  • Lockup
    • No mouse or keyboard
    • Can't switch terminals
    • No blinking scroll/caps lock (kernel panic)
    • Didn't try caps lock key
