system hung

[Vano Beridze]

Hello

I run fedora 2
uname -r
2.6.8-1.521

My uptime was about 10 days and today while working normally
keyboard locked up. Mouse was working normally.
Keyboard actually died.
I tried Ctrl+Alt+Backspace,Ctrl+alt+del, ctrl+alt+f1,f2,f3,...
nothing helped.
The only way was to reboot.

I inspected /var/log/messages. The interested string is this:

Oct 19 12:24:29 iguana kernel: application mozilla-bin uses obsolete OSS 
audio interface
Oct 19 12:24:29 iguana modprobe: FATAL: Error running install command 
for sound_slot_1
Oct 19 12:48:47 iguana modprobe: FATAL: Error running install command 
for sound_slot_1
Oct 19 12:56:03 iguana last message repeated 2 times
Oct 19 13:21:14 iguana kernel: input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on 
isa0060/serio0

These are the last messages just before reboot.

I'm really disappointed. I'm  really surprised with such things.
One of the main things I prefer linux is the stability. No more blue 
screens.
Actually that was the case before fedora. I've never seen such an 
unpredictible behaviour in redhats 6.2,7,7.1,7.2,7.3,8.0,9.

Sorry if I look like a whiner, but I just lost 2 hours of my work and 
that makes me upset.

Thank you.

P.S. It's just sad to realize that Fedora failed my expectations and 
I'll switch to Gentoo.
