D'oh. Didn't quite work. I'll keep hacking, though -- I think the problem will be reasonably easy to track down; I have a feeling that the MKI patches aren't locking the kernel when they're doing something which requires locking, and they're getting pre-empted away, leaving something (page table, task structures) in an unstable state. I've got an exam tomorrow so I won't do much work on this now, but I hope I'll get it fixed by the weekend or so :). -- #ozone/algorithm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - trust.in.love.to.save -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
