I do a make -j bzImage I have 2 large processes (Kaffe) running in the background. They are driven by scripts like this:
while true; do su freenet -c java freenet.node.Main; done
I have 512MB of RAM and no swap on 2.4.18-pre9. Kernel eventually slows to a near complete halt, and starts killing processes. It kills Kaffe several times Out of Memory: Killed process xyz (Kaffe) (no I don't have logs, sorry) Each time it's a different pid, having respawned from its parent process. Then later, it apparently becomes unkillable - each time it respawns it is *the same PID*. VT switching works, but otherwise the system is unresponsive. It is not clear whether the make -j is still running. Immediately before this, it did the same thing with dictd, but eventually got around to Kaffe. After a fairly long wait I rebooted with the reset switch.
Any more information useful? Is this known behaviour? [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] |  |
