[Cooker] Kernel bugs
Having used 8.2 with the default kernel (I know...) for 6 days now I've stumbled on something.. After about 4 to 6 hours of use, I start getting more and more system load. After 1.5 days, my system load is up to 20-ish, and I can't get a root shell no more (!!). Console login doesn't happen inside 15 minutes... Has anyone else observed similar behavior? Let me point out, I'm not running any weird services or using any exotic applications/hardware. As far as I can figure (Without delving deeper into the matter, no thank you, I already do this for work!) it would seem like a problem with the kernel or modprobe. The hardware I'm using is a microstar MB with some VIA chipset, athlon 700. eepro100 for a nic, tnt1 (diamond viper 550) for display adapter. An old HP cd-rw using ide-scsi.o. Also, using the stock kernel nets me a kernel panic (!!) if I try to switch to another console early into bootup.. (Whose idea was it to make the boot process quiet by default anyway? ;) -- /\| Kimmo Hovi [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign | BEng (Comp Eng) / EViTech X Against HTML Mail | M.Sc (Tech) Student / HUT / \| GSM +358 40 7678610 Commercial email policy: http://www.hovi.org/mail/

One has an uptime of 5d,0h,22m and the other is at 2d,21h,25m. They currently have load averages of 1.08 and 1.02, with setiathome getting 98-99% of the cpu usage. I have yet to see a high load average, though periodically top changes from its normal 0.5% CPU to approx 40% (with setiathome getting an equal 40%). When that happens, top continues to be high usage until I kill it and restart it. I've started keeping track of when it hits high usage to see if there is any sort of a pattern. David

No I don't think so... is not a kernel problem, rather a Video problem... or probably a KDE problem, I reported this earlier in the beta testing stage. I was using my own backgrounds, some nice chicks and switching the pics every 15 min. after removing this the problem dissapeared.
