Hello,
I recently got a dual pIII machine and can't get Linux to work well on it. With kernel 2.2.13-14pre apt-get says 'Bad file descriptor' for almost every file it tries to download. If I try to track the problem with strace, it downloads all files perfectly.
Then I tried to switch to 2.3.29. apt-get works well, but if I try to start gvim on a remote machine via ssh X11 forward, X locks up and read operations on the /proc entry of some process (I can't read the /proc entry to know which one) locks too. I can log on remotely but cannot kill X, and after some time all processes stop. The kernel is still running, it accepts TCP connections, but the process listening can't answer them.
With one CPU removed, 2.2.13-14pre works perfectly. I haven't tried 2.3.29 with 1 cpu yet.
I also couldn't find any info in the last ~2000 messages on lk that would help me.
Is it a known problem, am I using the wrong kernel / hardware / etc?
I'm willing to give any information I can but please ask, because I don't want to take the machine apart unless necessary.
TIA
