Hello,

I've got a bunch of old HDDs – ATA/SATA, 80-512 GB, Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung – a small zoo Wink
Gigabyte P43T + E8400 + 12GB -  that's desktop the only one with IDE port nearby.

So I tried to do some cleaning = moving tons of files from one HDD to another + zip some directories.
And 2.2 started to crash, even no mouse movement.
It could work for 10 minutes or died almost immediately – unpredictable.

Tried acpi=off, noapic, nolapic & etc with no success.


In the end I've found out this article:
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/...a-pendrive

Seems lot of RAM + slow HDD is a common bug.

Code:
echo $((16*1024*1024)) > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_bytes echo $((48*1024*1024)) > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_bytes
to rc.local fixed that.

Just type it here in case anybody else rush into.

The computer I am trying to fix now uses an Intel based video driver. I tried to do an install drivers to see what's going on, I can see the window come up and then it will just go away. Also, when I try to update my sources a window wants to come up but it will also go away. This install was done with the same install disk which I have verified to have a good md5 checksum.

Here is the info from an inxi -g command

Graphics:  Card: Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Integrated Graphics Device
          X.Org: 1.15.1 drivers: intel (unloaded: fbdev,vesa) Resolution: [email protected]
          GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel 845G x86/MMX/SSE2 GLX Version: 1.3 Mesa 10.1.3

Basically, the system works with the exception of what I have said above, should I be using the above driver or is there another one that is better ?
