Hi I have a Dual Pentium III 500 Mhz machine. It has 1GB of memory, an internal amimegaraid controller, two additional scsi ultra-wide controller sym53c875E (using sym53c8xx.o) and acenic gigabit ethernet card. I'm patching every kernel to use vlan (802.1Q) and reiserfs. Currently a 2.4.0-test4 kernel i running on it and it is really stable. uptime 2 months. But no support for the 1GB of memory. Just the ~900 MB. I decided to use the newest patch for reiserfs and vlan and the newest kernel. 2.4.0-test8 and 2.4.0-test9. Both kernels had the 4GB support enabled. They boot fine but the load keeps rising. Sendmail didn't start anymore and the ftpserver (proftpd), though connections were established, didn't let you transfer anything. There was no real load on the computer but the load kept rising until it reached 150, which was the point where i rebooted the thing an switched back to 2.4.0-test4.
