Yes, that is quite normal.

 I have filed a bug against gcc, per instructions. There seems to be an
 issue somewhere in py-gtk that is exacerbated by the low resources on
 this system.

There is no bug in gcc.  Your system does not have enough memory to
run the compilation job, so you are thrashing it severely.  Try
turning down the CFLAGS optimization level, or use a precompiled
package from the FTP site or built on another machine.

That's as may be, but the initial warning/error message was that the
gcc folks wanted a big filed. If there is a package for this, I'll go
that route.

The gcc message is a secondary failure from the process being killed at 
an unexpected point when your system ran out of memory.

kernel debugging: seeing swap issues in 7.0

2008-05-23 Thread paul beard
I see a lot of these as my system grinds to a halt. It never crashes
(I reboot it when it gets really boggy . . .

This is the top of the kernel debug

I have partition-based swap and swap files I set up after gcc was
running out of memory.

Any ideas what I can do (besides buy more hardware)?

You can try increasing the timeout by editing the relevant kernel
source, but if it's failing to reply to the I/O after 30 seconds then
something is drastically overloaded on your system.

Well, not much is running, and I have recently built a new kernel and
world in less time than it takes to get this one port upgraded. I
think there is something else amiss. Should this really be soaking up
100Mb of RAM?

this system.
