Hello folks, Just a heads up, I compile different kernels every or every couple of hours to get complete optimazation of my system. Here are some of the problems that I have come across. 1) When you move a module to the kernel, the module is not removed from the /usr/src/linux/modules, and linuxconf does not release control over modules if they are not being used. 2) The paraport controller for zip drives and such if you add it directly to the kernel you get many error's, some to the point that it doesn't know how to handle the addressing. 3) If you make the kernel too large (just experinced this one for the first time in about 3 years), the system will attempt to load then it will give you an out of memory error then hang. (I use different boot disk's for different boot configuration's) 4) In KDE or GNOME (may not be a xwindows issue once again a memory issue). I connect to a Hewlet Packard Unix System (HP-UX), and export a display of there backup program called OmniBack. Now my load is low like .2% but I have 99% memory utilization on my system (odd you be the judge). The system running it is a Intel Pentium II 350 with 64mg ram. When I export the display I get a memory fault from the server (HP-UX) and it crashes my export. But I can export another display just fine but not of that. I am able to do this with any other Linux Distro. As well as goto a windows machine with a Xterm Client running and lanuch it. With all that being said, there might be a memory leak in the kernel.
