Hi All, I just wanted to let you know that adding the noapic to the
grub.conf file seems to have cured the lockup error issue I was
experiencing on my IBM box.
Also in the BIOS the APM mode was on.
Turning it off did not fix the problem but adding the noapic did the
trick!

By the way my Centos is

2.6.18-92.1.10.el5

So its been running nonstop now for over a day and a half with no
problems.

Thanks, for the help.

Jon,

This sounds to me like a problem in the PC itself.

This is a shot in the dark: the APIC's on on some PC's are flaky under

linux.

You could try adding noapic to the kernel boot line in /etc/grub.conf:

I have an IBM box which does has to have this done in order to stay
working. The groub.conf above is from that box.
