--- Comment #15 from Fred Stevens <sk8tesgre8t at gmail.com> --- If one tries to copy or manipulate a file (compress with gzip, xz, bz2) larger than 1GB. There was a fix for this issue back with earlier 2.6 kernels but it re-surfaced sometime around the release of 2.6.34 and later. The kernel will lock up if I try to compile, for example, texlive from a SlackBuild or even try to copy the prebuilt binary from another hard disk or usb disk, etc. There seems to be a hardware pci bridge bug and appropriate work around associated with this but I would have to check the kernel archives to make sure. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
