I've had the same thing happen twice in one day since going up to 2.1.91..
The disk light goes on.. off.. on.. off.. but my box has never come out
of it alive.
I had been working in X, loading up a huge .jpg in netscape (approx. 1mb)
when the machine started swapping like mad.
Had to resort to a hard reset..
No oops' nor is there anything in the logs.
Machine is a p166, 48mb ram.
Not really a low memory system, eh?
