Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel [SOLVED]

As the title says: Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel (2.6.27). I can only move a mouse, but everything else is frozen. Even restarting X doesn't do a trick. It doesn't work at all. Frozen.
I don't get any kind of error message (oh really?), so what's the problem..?

Yeah... I'm using nvidia... So the problem is nvidia drivers, not the Linux kernel?
Edit: My card is nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra. I can't get driver information now, because I'm using WinXP right now. I'll check it later.
Did you make a new install or just updated?
You can try to reinstall old kernel with:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel(version you want).pkg.tar.gz
if you made a new install you may have to install the xorg keyboard driver and so.
By the way, there are a few diferent packages for nvidia drivers. Check wich is yours.
Also check /var/log/ folder for errors.
Updated kernel.
And as I said, I'll check the driver later.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My imac 17' core duo 1.8ghz a1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running

My imac 17" core duo 1.8ghz A1173 freezes after about 1 minute of running. I re-start the imac about a half a dozen times and it stays running and will re-start from the sleep mode and will continue to operate properly until I put it in sleep mode or it goes to sleep mode. If I turn it off, I must go through the same hassle. Advise/suggestions. Thanks.

HD Channels freeze after 5 minutes

Since the launch of BT sport my HD channels including new BT sport freeze after about 5 minutes. Help suggests I restart Home Hub and BT vision box. This gets the system going for the next 5 minutes. Note this is the behaviour whether accessing BT sport or BBC1 HD. I can actually get the channel to unfreeze by simply changing channels so its not really necessary to reboot all the boxes. Unfortunately this approach does not work when trying to record your favourite football team.
Other details: BT Vision box is connected to Home Hub by powerline adaptors and I often get a message with error VMC999 complaining of a slow connection.
What is particularly irritating is that I have a new Samsung smart TV which displays all HD channels perfectly (via Freeview) and seamlessly streams HD on demand content by connecting wirelessly to the BT router.
I have made two attempts this week to contact BT (0800...) but abandonned them as there are'nt enough hours in the day.
So what I propose do is to "enjoy" my "free" BT sport channels (I have infinity account), cancel my BT Vision subscription (if BT ever pick up the phone) and subscribe to Netflix, Blinkbox, etc.
If anyone has any practical or technical suggestions please comment.

Did you manage to try using an ethernet cable rather than the power line adapters (PLA's)? Did this solve the problem? As others mentioned the PLA's are probably causing the VMC999 error. You need a reliable connection to the Vision+ box for the multicast channels to work smoothly. Being live channels they have to work in a slightly different way to on-demand content.
If after trying a cable you still get the multicast channels freezing after approx 5 mins every time you try to view/record them then you are not the only one. In that case I suggest you read this thread I created a while back. I got it fixed for my line, but it still seems to be affecting some customers now. Get your stopwatch out!

Video downloads freeze after a minute or so

When I download videos, for example from a site such as Vimeo, or the iPad promo video from the Apple site, the video freezes after a minute or so and will go no further. Any ideas? Is it down to the size of my processor? There doesn't seem to be a problem with viewing stuff on YouTube, or with TV programmes from the BBC.
I've noticed that downloading stuff other than videos is rather hit and miss anyway - the download speed will suddenly fall and once it's below about 180kb/s it stops altogether- sometimes if I stop the download and start it again straightway it will carry on for a bit longer, but sometimes I have to start again from scratch. I don't know whether this is related to the problem with the videos.
Any ideas, please?

HI,
The iPad video is not available for download from the Apple site. You have to launch iTunes, select iTunes Store in the Source list on the left then type in: *Apple Keynotes* in the search field top right of the iTunes window.
Vimeo requires that your Java Script be turned on. Go to Safari/Preferences and select the Secuirty tab. Where you see: Web content Make sure the top 3 boxes are checked,.
Vimeo also requires the most recent version of Flash. If you have Flash installed, first uninstall the old copy then reinstall new.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Then repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Your download speeds are determined by the type of internet connection you are using. Broadband/ DSL ... you can check download and upload speeds here. http://www.speedtest.net/
If you have a broadband connection your download speed should be about 16Mbps

ATI display driver fails to work with new kernel

Hi,
I've just upgraded from
OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64
to most current
OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.4.0.1.el5.x86_64
and got the problem with ATI display driver. Whenever I perform kernel upgrade, I have to recompile vendor-provided ATI display driver downloadable from AMD/ATI site, because system ATI driver, provided by OEL/RHEL as kernel module, doesn't work properly (too slow). I did that hundred times and never had a problem. This time the problem is that after upgrading to new kernel and recompiling the existing ATI display driver (Revision 10.8), it doesn't work anymore, even though it worked perfectly with previous kernel. I cannot even start X11 (glibc problem reported with stack traces!!!). The newest ATI display driver (Revision 10.9) "works" with new kernel, but display is awfully slow making any serious work impossible. It is even slower than system-provided ATI driver.
I am pretty sure the problem is in new kernel. As I have no backup of old kernel files and couldn't download the previous OEL kernel files from ULN, neither binary nor source (the files do not exist on ULN anymore, only the recent kernel files), I downloaded the previous kernel source from ftp.redhat.com, compiled the kernel and downgraded to it, recompiled ATI display driver, and everything works properly and fast as before upgrading. I can remember that ULN site used to have all kernel versions prior to actual one and cannot understand why Oracle dropped this practice. As I have an ULN account, I certainly want to have OEL patched kernel.
My question is: does anybody know how and where I can download the previous OEL kernel-2.6.18-194.11.3.0.1.el5.x86_64 binary rpm files or at least source rpm file?
Maybe Sergio or Tommy can help?
Thanks in advance.

I have experienced the same with Ubuntu some years ago - specific feature (hack?) that was implemented in the kernel was deprecated. This was used by the display driver for an onboard Intel graphics chipset. Beryl (which was subsequently merged with Compiz) turned into a horribly slow experience. As far as I recall, a subsequent kernel patch "fixed" things as a number of users were affected, of which many complained very loudly.
Anyway, I think the lesson here is that OEL is not really the correct distro to use for a desktop. A broken ATI driver for the OEL kernel? Does not really feature in the scheme of things for OEL support. Oracle Grid/RAC/Enterprise/Standard Edition do not care. Oracle's application servers (Apache, Weblogic, etc) do not care. Etc.
Sure, GUI desktop access to an OEL server is needed (like when running dbca or an installer) - but that can easily and effectively be done using vncserver for example and running twm.
You may be able to fix/work-around the problem with the current kernel update.. you may be able to roll back the update. But what about the next time when some other component does not work after a patch or an update? Surely it is a lot less stressful and frustrating to rather use a desktop distro, like Ubuntu, instead?

I Have Compaq 6200 Pro Microtower Pc..THE SCREEN TURNS WHITE & FREEZES after 8 -Minutes of usage

I have an HP Compaq 6200 Pro Microtower PC.
I cant use in recent times, about two weeks now. The screen turns white and freezes after about 8-10 minutes of been in use. when this happens, the FAN spins at extraordinary fast speed and this will continue for as long as possible until i have to press and hold the power button to off it.
I have changed processor, powerpack, cooling fan, memory and hard disks but the problem persists.
This PC is an i5- 3.10ghz, 4gb ram, 320gb hdd, ...windows 7 professional 64 bits.
I need urgent help. Technical advice. What could be the course of this and what do i need to DO?

Start the PC in 'safe mode' and check in device manager for new graphics drivers, it sound like you drivers are either out of date or corrupted, the screen going white and computer responding is a symptom of this.
safe mode uses VGA drivers and these should not freeze giving you ample time to complete these steps.

Tecra 9100 freezes after several minutes

My Tecra9100 (P4, 1,8 Ghz) freezes after several minutes. It shows no reaction on keyboard or mouse input.
It doesn't matter whether I'm running WinXP, Linux or just enter the BIOS.
Rebooting the system leads to a shorter period until freezing (several seconds).
First I thought of overheating of the cpu but a small hardware tool shows me that the temperature is normal and the cooling fan works.
Any idea? Perhaps a problem with the VGA?

Hi
Yes, its perhaps something wrong with VGA but I think it could be a memory fault.
Try to replace the modules and check if there are some performance improvements.
If not, the technician should check the notebooks motherboard
You know; Its always not easy to say what could be wrong without any diagnostic procedures
