02May2008 (UTC +8) The wait states of Red Hat Enterprise v5.1 x86_64 is unbearable with CryptLUKS (on SATA2 1TB HDD's) --and I haven't even installed VMware 1.0.5 yet! It was so terrible that my machine would hang several times, and eventually crash. 4GB RAM and 2.4GHz quad-core CPU were whipped. Used top and iostat to monitor what I could. Anybody experienced the same thing?
Thought I'd migrate from Fedora 8 to RHEL 5. Bad move that cost me a weekend++. I'm back to Fedora 9 now though, so everything has been working like a charm again, even VMware 1.0.6 (with Windows XP SP1, Solaris 10, OpenSolaris 05.2008, SLAX's BackTrack v3, all operational simultaneously).
