Hello Just pointing out that my system has locked hard in XWindows system. Sorry no-oops as linux so far is unable to switch to VGA mode in this case and show me this log. I'd not seen any oops with 2.4.5-pre1 during the whole usage of this kernel on my SMP box BP6. -pre3 has locked after 5 hours - and I've been working with this machine only for the last hour. I could only describe situation: - starting multithread application which has been loading data across nfs. Thats all I can say ... switching back to -pre1 (BTW Core is still no being generated for threaded apps in -pre3 - please fix) bye kabi - 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/
