Unpredictable behaviour is known to occur if you try to "boot" after<br>
fs-update, you should use "bye".<br>

It should idle suspend. It should not freeze.<br>

<br>
Sounds bad. Do you have a serial port attached? I ask because I<br>
suspect a kernel panic and a serial port is a practical way to obtain<br>
more problem data.<br>
<br>
Might also be worth running memtest from OFW as well, just to exclude<br>
certain other causes.<br>

memtest will puke errors unless you set the lower address range to<br>
30M. Dunno why. Guess a bug needs top be filed for sorting it out.<br>
<br>
If you run memtest hit 'c' right after it starts to go into config<br>
then '2' for address range '1' for lower limit. Enter '30m' press<br>
return then press '0' to restart the tests.<br>

Could we get a squeak/etoys package with a fixed alsa-plugin ASAP, please?<br>

Someone would need to rebuild Fedora's squeak-vm-3.10-5 package with Derek's patched sqUnixSoundALSA.c file (attached to the forwarded msg below). The etoys package is unaffected.<br>
