Hello,
For a long time I've had the annoying problem with kernels totally
freezing during heavy load, e.g. when compiling XFree86-4.1.0-3,
kernels,... or recently qt-3.0.0-4.
Kernels having this problem are (rawhide ones):
kernel-2.4.9-0.18
kernel-2.4.7-6
kernel-2.4.9-0.5
These kernels are the ones currently installed, kernels in between
show the same behavior. No trace is given in the logs :-( The freeze
happens both when running X or not. No memory limit or swap limit seen
to be broken. Memory is 192MB with swap of 400MB. Alt-SysRq is the
only way out.. (No problems with 2.2.x series)
Anyone have a hint on how to debug this/workaround/etc. As for now one
does not dare to start a large compilation together with running other
tasks...
Maybe 2.4.10+ will help, if so please tell me..
