[ale] ASUS P5MT question

[Dow_Hurst]

Thinking about this some more:

Why would this be kernel related anyway?  The quirks I've found are with the version of the CPU I have, the IDE subsystem, and the BIOS settings.  I have a Celeron based on a 90nm process that I used to flash the BIOS with.  I'm going to switch back to that and see if I can't get a more stable system.  I am also going to turn off functions I don't need in the BIOS such as the serial port, parallel port, the second NIC, and so on.

I've crashed again but with the difference that the kernel is crashed and sshd will accept the initial connection, but not get past the password prompt.  I haven't used the console just ssh connections since last night.  It is interesting since this is slightly different behavior than I've seen before.  I can ping the machine just fine.  I can ssh to it but not complete to a shell prompt.  This is typical of a kernel crash but the routing state is left intact.

Another possibility is that powersaved was generating some directive that caused a crash.  I'm guessing now.  I have one other thought about power in general:
