Are you excluding /proc? Trying to back up all of /proc is definitely
asking for trouble, although the oops still indicates a kernel bug.

I just booted an Inspiron 5000. PIIX4. So in the kernel config, read
the help on PIIX support and make sure to turn on 'use dma by default'.

thanks for all those who replied. your help is really appreciated.
basically, in order to compile kernel in RH7, kgcc *MUST* be used instead of
gcc.
to use kgcc edit the Makefile. find the line below and change to:

it's getting near 10M/s, but if you divide 128M/27 seconds, it's more like

So where is the time being wasted? It's not in cpu either.

The Athlon has an extended version of 3DNOW, which the kernel uses as of

My lockup problems started increasing in frequency, and it
became obvious that they were independent of the kernel I
booted. The shoe dropped, nic was failing. It's salvage now.
The bizarre shift errors on ftp are gone, so the data I sent
is irrelevant to the kernel.

Your net/ipv4/tcp.c patch from the NE2000 thread cured them even
before I found the hardware fault. Has that patch gone to the

The bugs I was "fixing" there were due to problems in wai
Where can I find info about that ?
My first idea was to fire a timer and let the callback routine do the work,
but I worry about synchronization and about passing the list of items for it
to handle.
What is the accepted way of starting a kernel thread and how do I handle
parameters and sync. ?
