FC5 kernel hang with kernels 2122 and 2133

Tue Jun 20 15:00:46 UTC 2006

This is my first post to this list, so I hope I get this email formated
correctly.  If not I will endeavor to correct my mistakes in future
postings.  I tried sending this previously but did not see it show up
in the  mail, so I'm trying again.  If they both show up, my apologies.

I've seen several other postings on hangs and slow system time updates
during hangs, but no indication if anything has been found to resolve
the issues.  Here is my system info:

Soyo Dragon Plus (Via KT266A chipset)
AthlonXP 1700+
512MB DDR2100
using on-board lan and sound
Geforce3 ti200
WD 120GB primary master
Maxtor 120GB master on Promise Ultra

I have the hangs both with and without the livna drivers.  The hang
occurs at varying times.  Anywhere from a few minutes to many hours of
running.  I do not leave this machine up 24/7, so it always happens
after a cold boot for the day.  Some days I may be on for 4-5 hours and
not have a hang.  It appears that if I wait long enough during a hang,
I can usually get a virtual terminal and do a shutdown.  2111 kernel
appears to be OK, although I have had it hang after a reboot from a
lockup in another kernel.  Never had a hang with cold boot into 2111. 
One thing I have noticed is that sometimes after a hang, the system
time is off by a significant amount (10s of seconds to minutes). 

I have two other computers running FC5 and they do not exhibit this
problem.  Both of those systems are different mixes of hardware vs the
problem system.  All three systems are upgrades from FC3, and one has
been upgraded from FC1 => FC3> FC5.  That one runs fine.  I hope
someone can point me at the solution to the problem.  B.T.W., I'm using
the problem system right now, and it has been fine for the past week on
2111 kernel.

I've run smartctl and checked my drives and they are OK.  No errors
other than a few reallocated sectors.  The sectors are not new and have
been slowly growing for a couple years.  I find that all my WD boot
drives have the tendancy to do this, while my Maxtor and IBM do not.

Thank you in Advance,
Lloyd
