Hi,

I had reported the same problem some time back for 2.6.13 and now tried
2.6.13.1, but the problem persists. After some time (about 1 hour or
so) the machine just locks hard - screen, keyboard, network. I noticed
that the hard disk light is on permanently in that stage. It always
locks up during disk operation (this time which installing some new
Debian packages). The (currently one and only) disk is hanging off the
0000:00:07.1 VIA IDE controller, the built-in RAID controller is unused.

2.6.12.5 was running stable for a very long time (upgraded when it came
out and never rebooted until 2.6.13 was released). I'm now back to
2.6.12.5 and the machine works fine again, so I doubt it's a hardware
failure.

There is nothing in syslog, and I can't switch to console or do
Alt-SysRq, so I'm at loss how to investigate this further.

Best,
Norbert

I append the lspci -vvv from both 2.6.12.5 and 2.6.13.1 The diff
between these two is:
