On my new system (SMP), I've twice now had Netscape running in X, the
RC5 client running on a tty, and suddenly the disk will start thrashing,
and the system will totally bog down.
Last time, all the Netscape windows disappeared one by one, and then it
was fine. This time, I had to Alt-SysRq-S the thing to emergency sync
(since I figured I'd have to shut it off). It then paused briefly,
dropped me out of X, and then I got a message on tty1 that the RC5
client died with a "bus error".
So I'm wondering if there are any SMP gotchas, or bugs people have had
with the RC5 crypto client and its "SMP-awareness".
System:
RH6, 2.2.13 kernel using kernel.org tarball
2x550 MHz Celeron
HPT366 ATA-66 HDC
64 MB PC-100 RAM
Thanks in advance for any lucid ideas. Incidentally, can anyone give
me a reference benchmark for keys/sec that a 550 Celeron should compute?
