Re: Freezing bug in all kernels greater than 2.4.5-ac13 *AND* 2.4.6-pre2

I'm currently running 2.4.6-pre8 and happy as a clam, the problem has been found and reverted, looks from my discussions with Linus like the page_launder change introduced into pre3 and also included in ac14 was causing the hangs/near freezes. I'm not really much of a coder, so I

Freezing bug in all kernels greater than 2.4.5-ac13 *AND* 2.4.6-pre2

I decided, for the hell of it, to test the pre series as I've been nudged by many people to try it in favor of the ac kernel series that I've been having problems with. Well, it turns out I have ran into exactly the same problem I had with the ac kernel series, which quite frankly is surprising

Swap error message I've seen in 2.4.5-ac17

Yep, me again. I've been playing around with ac17 on my old 486 machine for a few days (it seems strange that the 486 works fine while the K6 doesn't, but I digress) and I noticed today something that made my hair stand on end: Jun 26 16:17:27 debian kernel: VM: Bad swap entry 0033da00 Jun 26

Possible freezing bug located after ac13

2001-06-23 Thread tcm
I've recently been going slightly nuts with the fact ac15, 16, and 17 all like deadlocking/slowing to a crawl for seconds/minutes on my K6-III with 64MB of ram and a swap space of 128MB... Recently I noticed something VERY odd, I'd been keeping an eye on gkrellm while I was doing stupid things

The last time I tried this, I didn't get any replies - at all. I don't know why, so I request that anyone who wants to send me replies, send directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - as it has been ten days since I last tried to ask for help, I hope this isn't considered spam. Note that I'm still having

Hi. I will try to keep this as informative as possible, just in case I've missed something. First off, I've already searched all the kernel archives I could, google, I've looked around on IRC for help in four different networks, I've emailed the debian hwtools package maintainer (who

I originally sent this message to Andrea Archelangi, but he felt I should also send it here. 2.2.19pre3 is great! Note that I'm not subscribed to the list - please replies to me and the list if you would? Thanks :) You may remember me from an earlier e-mail asking where to find the VM
