Having used 8.2 with the default kernel (I know...) for 6 days now I've
stumbled on something.. After about 4 to 6 hours of use, I start getting
more and more system load. After 1.5 days, my system load is up to 20-ish,
and I can't get a root shell no more (!!). Console login doesn't happen
inside 15 minutes... Has anyone else observed similar behavior? Let me
point out, I'm not running any weird services or using any exotic
applications/hardware. As far as I can figure (Without delving deeper into
the matter, no thank you, I already do this for work!) it would seem like
a problem with the kernel or modprobe.
The hardware I'm using is a microstar MB with some VIA chipset, athlon
700. eepro100 for a nic, tnt1 (diamond viper 550) for display adapter. An
old HP cd-rw using ide-scsi.o.
Also, using the stock kernel nets me a kernel panic (!!) if I try to
switch to another console early into bootup.. (Whose idea was it to make
the boot process quiet by default anyway? ;)
