Description Per Jessen 2010-07-28 11:04:59 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-GB; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6

I have very little to go on here, except for an 11.3 system that keeps locking up.  When it is locked up, I can still access the console and attempt to login, but I only get to hitting enter after entering 'root'. I can do this on multiple consoles, and I can still switch to tty10.  Interestingly, when I turn on NumLock, I can't turn it off again. 
I have a growing suspicion that it is I/O related - I noticed today that 3-4 disks had their activity-LED lit, but nothing much was happening. I then tried Alt-Sysrq-S, which turned off the activity-LEDs. I'm not sure if this has any bearing on what's going on at all.
This system ran at first 11.2, then 11.3-milestones, then rc1, now 11.3 - I'm pretty certain I did not experience this hang up with 11.3 pre-RC1. I'll probably install 11.2 just to verify. 


Reproducible: Always




I'm off on vacation in a couple of days but will be back mid-August.

Yesterday I booted up 11.3 with module cpqphp disabled/blacklisted, I had a suspicion. However, the system still locked up some time this afternoon.  I had an open konsole over ssh, it is now no longer responding.  The system is still pingable, and responds to alt-SysRq.  I'm going to revert to 11.2 just to see if that changes anything.

Update: I installed 11.2 about three days ago, and it is still running.

I've reverted to 11.3+updates, and it has now been running stable for four days. I have a suspicion that this could be related bug 633106 - is there a possiblity that an update was pushed out?

openSUSE 11.3 is out of maintenance. Since there have been no further updates to this report, I assume that it's fixed. If not, please reproduce with 11.4 or 12.1 and re-open with an updated Product field.
