Sorry for the delay in responding today. Since I've got a few things to do, I'll put the responses together here. Unfortunately, I won't be around over the next couple of days, but if you have any requests I'll get on to them as soon as I can next week.
> 1) Where did you get your 2.6.27 kernel? Debian doesn't seem to have one. > (I can build one myself if I need to) It's compiled myself. The current one is 2.6.27.4 obtained from ftp.uk.kernel.org. For reference, I've attached a compressed copy of my kernel config in case there is some useful information in there. > 2) I have an AMD64 but I can't reproduce the crash.

It's actually a dual core machine. I've tried booting the kernel with the nosmp option (and with maxcpus=0), but this causes OOPSes in my SATA controller driver, and so I can't mount any of the filesystems. However, I have been able to book successfully with maxcpus=1, effectively making it an SMP system with one processor. Hopefully this will be good enough - I'll look at the UP booting problems separately. This seems to have produced the same results. For reference, compressed strace output is also attached. > What is the value of HZ in your kernel? It's set to 300. Thanks very much for your persistence with this, I really do appreciate it. As usual, let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Like I say, there will likely be a bit of a delay over the next few days, but I'll get things done as soon as I can next week. All the best, -Dave.
