Over the last few days I've had my NetWinder running various tests to try to crash it. The good news is that the latest kernel seems a lot better than previous versions. I haven't managed to trip it up so far and the problems with heavy swapping load seem to have disappeared as well. The latter is slightly worrying because I don't know why it happened, but I guess we might as well enjoy the new stability. :-) I've made a new patch for 2.2.1 incorporating the fix I mentioned yesterday and another for the alignment trap handler to avoid a NULL dereference under some circumstances. Since ftp.netwinder.org seems to be experiencing some downtime the patch is in a different place to usual: http://www.tazenda.demon.co.uk/phil/armlinux/patches/linux-2.2.1-philb-990203.gz This version also incorporates a renumbering of the DMA channels so the ISA ones start at 0 and a couple of other things. If you can make the kernel crash or lock the machine, I'd be very interested to hear about it. p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
