Hello,


We are two with a T60 1951F3G, with 1go of RAM, with Linux 2.6.16 with
last patches and last kernel.
Sometimes we go a big real Freeze, no log, no possibilities to sync with
AltGr-SysReq-S : Only power off can help us.

We have Suspend2 patch, but it seem that it's not the problem, it can
arrive 5 minutes after a reboot or a long moment after a resume from
disk.

Did somebody have an idea ? (with a lot of luck)

For me the problem is probably the Network Card : E1000

e1000: 0000:02:00.0: e1000_probe: (PCI Express:2.5Gb/s:Width x1) 00:16:41:25:04:44
e1000: eth0: e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection

Why ? because sometime I get a very strange think : packets are treated
only by two !
So a ping give 1000ms, 1ms, 1000ms ... on a local lan. With SSH I see it
very much.

I can send all info that somebody can needed to help me.


Jerome.
