Hi all, i probed 2.3.3 kernel and it started nice and everything was going fine, i was with kde, netscape, ncftp and kmail i think running all when suddenly i got Out of memory messages and all my process but login died, those prosses are quit a few but i got 128M of memory and i don't think the memory would just ran out with just that besides i got 56M swap space, and before with 64M of memory i didn't had trouble and even ran xemacs besides netscape and kde (of course it got slower).....
Later i upgrade to 2.3.6 and when it starts init and says freeing unused kernel memory 36K bla bla .... it freezes and the last messages is: error in loading shared libraries: /lib/libNoVersion.so.1 and says cannot allocate memory.....and cannot reboot i got to hard-reset the machine.....
The configuration: 128M memory AMD K6-2 350Mhz egcs-1.1.2 compiled using -march=pentium optimisation option (no problems 'till now) and kernel 2.3.6 compiled with the mtrr option for K6-2 memory usage
Any ideas why this ???
BTW: why were removed the -mxxxx options from the CONFIG_XXX[5-6]86 options.....really they are not necessary for better performance (not even -m486 :))
Thanks !!!!!!!
