i don't think i've run plain 2.6.10 at all, syslog does not say so. i've run several versions of 2.6.9, then 2.6.10-rc1, 2.6.10-rc1-bk19, 2.6.10-rc2-bk9, 2.6.10-rc3-bk11, 2.6.11-rc2-bk10, 2.6.11-rc5-bk2. as stated earlier, the problem kicked in when i switched to 2.6.11, i switched back to 2.6.11-rc5-bk2 and it happened again. by looking at the syslog i am (still) suspecting pppd to be the source of OOM, but it did not show up as a memory pig in "ps". i am running 2.6.11.3 now and the machine survived almost 2 passes of pppd's daily hangups. i'll keep an eye on it. thank you for your concern, Christian. - -- BOFH excuse #357: I'd love to help you -- it's just that the Boss won't let me near the computer. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCNu1e+A7rjkF8z0wRAmSPAJ49erb21bO6inHPn/zoUH2gNHJk8QCguYDA HyzXS9whrJnb9eXVz9IP8zc= =zhEx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - 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/
