SubjectProblems with 2.1.63

Hi

I've experienced some problems with 2.1.63. Mainly they were
related to disk performance and dcache trouble. Didn't have the time
to look at'em to thoroughly.

I got this at the syslog

Nov 13 20:42:53 jovian kernel: d_alloc: 625 unused, pruning dcache
Nov 13 20:42:54 jovian last message repeated 12 times
Nov 13 20:42:54 jovian kernel: d_alloc: 626 unused, pruning dcache
Nov 13 20:42:54 jovian kernel: d_alloc: 625 unused, pruning dcache
Nov 13 20:42:55 jovian last message repeated 6 times

It repeated whenever I accessed the disk in large chunks (load emacs,
X ...).

F00F fix worked like a charm.

My sys (now using 2.1.55):

processor : 0
cpu : 586
model : Pentium 75+
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
stepping : 11
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
sep_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid : yes
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8
bogomips : 53.25
