Occasionally my wd0 (the 140meg) drive hangs with the drive light on. I can continue to type on an xterm window for about 20 char. From than on` everyting is hosed. I have to reboot to bring it up. I have been assumuning that I have a bad sector on my swap partition since my swap is on th 140 meg drive. The only thing is I don't get any errors. |> I think it might originate from XFree1.2 so I am going to install version 1.3 |> I `m running XFree1.3 and I still get the problem. This may be load related but I can pin it down. Has anyone else seen this. Is this a hardware or software problem. Any help will be appreciated. -- Jim Bachesta Data I/O Corporation bachesta@data-io.com 206-867-6274
