My SCO 3.2.4v2 system has been haning regularly lately and not panicing.
In X, the mouse will freeze up and things are dead as not logins can be
made. I reset the machine and frequently there are no files placed in
lost+found. I tried to reduce my 20M to sets of 16M in
/etc/default/boot but the problem persisted. It there any systematic
way to figure out where the problem is? I used to have a desciption of
saving crash dumps to tape but don't know where I have placed it. Any
help would be appreciated. TIA!

Had similar symptoms, thought it was hardware. Turned out to be Olympus
tune up software. Remove it, if installed!

Are you using one of the motherboards with the chipset that
does not use parity even if parity memory is installed. That
will also give the above symptom.

We need a bit of HW info to go along with the software info.
