I initially upgraded my kernel from 2.4.2-ac5 to 2.4.3 and the first thing I noticed was that mysqld was stuck. Killing it left it hanging in a D state. Then I tried 2.4.2-ac28 (which I am using now), and the got the same result. My key_buffer was set to 256MB, so I figured maybe it was something to do with memory usage so I lowered that figured to 128MB and restarted the system to clear the D state procs. Everything works fine now. 2.4.2-ac5 did not have issues with the larger key_buffer. Can anyone reproduce this problem? -- Vibol Hou KhmerConnection, http://khmer.cc "Connecting Cambodian Minds, Art, and Culture" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
