Please include the oops information, as well as the /proc/cpuinfo output.
Also be sure you built Pentium/TSC kernels as Cyrix III is a 686 core without
the cmov instruction it seems
I did. And built with gcc

Umm... Linus, how about a bunch of fixes I've sent to you several times

How hard is it to seperate losing kpiod (optimisation) from the MAP_SHARED

Losing kpiod isn't an optimization ;(. Losing kpiod is the MAP_SHARED bugfix.

Can you name the mm_struct member "context" [..]
I got you was proposing that but once we change it I preferred to use a generic
mm_arch structure (not just a context field) to have a more generic interface
in the long run.

I'm aware this way all ports actively using `mm-context' needs to
be changed but the change is certainly a no-brainer... OK?
My problem is that I don't want to typedef it to a structure, this

Ok. Not a problem. I'll leave it until post 2.4.0

Well, so I've tried to go on since my box has this "feature". Seems I
finally got the thing tracked down to several issues with mutual influence
and
o don't wait I/O completion to avoid deadlocking on the i_sem
o swap_out returns 1 and memory balancing code so thinks we did progress
in freeing memory and goes to allocate memory from the freelist
without waiting I/O completion
o repeat N times the above
so the
void foo()
{
extern int a;
if(a) goto a;
return;
a:
printf("%d\n", a);
}
Both examples allow an extern declaration inside a function scope
which is also contrary to any (even old) 'C' standards. 'extern'
I have a DLink DFE-530TX+ with a RTL8139 and I lock up cold
every once in a while too. 2.4.0-test12-pre3 is the latest
kernel I've tried. The machine is a dual PII450 on a Tyan
Tiger 100 BX board w/ 128MB.
Locks up cold meaning "It's dead Jim". Non sysrq facilities
