[ale] Java overpowered machine

[Jeff Hubbs]

Tommie -

The "notorious for getting hot" thing should be the first line of attack.
As for the second, I'd be wondering about a bollixed file system, possibly
brought about by past or present overheating.    Can you use tomsrtbt or
something to bring the machine up enough to be able to run a fsck on it?

The laptop could have a failed fan or an improperly-attached heatsink.  If
there is a vent hole available to you somewhere, some forced-air cooling
might be in order.

Subject: [ale] Java overpowered machine



I'm running a RH 6.2 laptop with 64 meg and a celeron 400

I've been doing some java programming and the current project is with the
tiger Geographical database for Fulton County.

This paticular table has 60,000 records and while running the latest
version of the program It cause the date command and top to segfault.
When I went to the console screen it would not allow me to log in.  I
don't remember what the errors were.

This machine is notorious for getting hot but this has never happened.

Does anyone have any suggestions.
