SubjectReport on 2.1.54
Date
Just a quick report on the stability of 2.1.54 based on two machines here.

Current uptimes are 5+14:13 and 3+16:01. The first machine has been rebooted about
three times since installing 2.1.54, all of the reboots because oops appeared in the
syslog (after about a day each time), while the second lasted 4+07:26, then died,
then just over a day before dying again (both lock ups).

In general then, 2.1.54 looks to be extremely stable for a development kernel.

The only problem I've noticed is that after a length of time /dev/dsp can't get
any DMA memory, which I assume is related to the memory problems/hungriness of the
dcache. After a while, this sorts itself out again.

A peculiarity that I've noted is that sometimes, on going onto a filesystem you
either haven't touched yet or for a while, ls seems to hang for a couple of seconds.
Is this another manifestation of the dcache?
