Iv'e seen such things when using systems with a... questionable hard
drive. In other words my laptop.
But then i always find a lot of "DMA reset sucsess" "CRC checksum
error"
etc right before the whole system comes crashing down. In a very
garbeled log file...
(ex. it may not say "DMA reset sucsess" but instead "DRMA restet
rucess"...)

Hi
Just had a hard lockup of system during use (desktop), the hdd kept
trashing. ctrl+alt+backspace had to effect, nor switching to console.
There's nothing about this in /var/log/messages or Xorg.log.
What can I do to debug it? Can't reproduce it, but in case it happens
again. Have the output of top written to a file every second? At least
that would show what process caused it. (Anyway, an user process
shouldn't crash the system)
Thanks
