Darwin-kernel mailing list (Darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-kernel/site_archiver%40lists.a... for three times during the past few month now, my iBook (500 MHz G3, 640 MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.2) all of a sudden stopped doing anything. Yesterday, it was in midst of reading my daily eMail dosage: The cursor continued to move around, but other than that, everything appeared to be deaf. The cursor's shape didn't change according to the underlying window anymore, keystrokes had no effect, clicks won't do anything and even when closing the lid, the computer would (at least partially) stay awake. I always waited some time to rule out processor overload. The reason why I'm writing this to the kernel list is, as soon as I unplugged the ethernet cable, the machine became responsive again. The keystrokes pressed while the computer was in "deaf mode" were executed and the computer appeared healthy as ever within a single second. It then fell into sleep as it should have done five minutes before, and could be awoken normally. So my question is, how would one attack this kind of bug? Should I install an instrumented kernel? Should I try to connect to the machine via ssh? Should I run some background task to get more information?
