Hi
Please forgive me as this is my first post but i think i have the format
right ;
I have been experiencing problems on my Debian box(2.2r2, sid dist. pIII
500mhz 128mb ram). The problems include 'zombie processes', ie issuing a
'cat' of a file, and it does not happen, so i have to ctrl+c and i see 'cat
defunct' in a `ps` output. I've experienced other problems too, concerning
'wait' and 'no child process' errors.
The following example is from `make`, when making a new kernel, althought
i've experience the same errors with `tar`, among others.
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
rm -f tools/build
Putting child 0x08074140 (clean) PID 745 on the chain.
Live child 0x08074140 (clean) PID 745
make[1]: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs

that is a `make` with the debug flag, for better understanding of what is
going on(i dont get it!). Me and a few friends have tried to figure out what
the problem is, but to no avail. Trying new ram, etc has not worked. The
thing is, i 've experienced these errors with two Debian computers i have, so
i get the idea its something i have done -- i have NO clue what!.
Please email me if you need any more info, i will keep a sharp eye on the
list other the week to see replies.
Hmmm...If you tried to change RAM, perhaps it is something on the
motherboard that makes RAM malfunction?
I hope you are not overclocked.
I suggest you try memtest86 package,
which put a memtest86 image in your /boot , which you can boot and
let it run for a while.
Maybe that will help.
Thanks,
pip
