Well, something odd happened today in my sys.log. I started the computer at about 10:56. It suddenly froze to biege (the color of my Firefox window) at 11:33. REISUB didn't work; I hit the reset button.

Looking at my sys.log, there is a restart shown at 11:19, 11:24, and (the real one) at 11:33. What's up with that?

There are no entries in my kernel.log from 11:08 to 11:33. What's up with that??

I have the 2.6.30 ultimate kernel.

Here's an excerpt from my sys.log:
