I simply think that with other kernels, you're very short > of memory, but it runs, while with this one, all memory gets consumed, and > since there's no smart oom killer, one process has to get killed. BTW, I have a box with 128MB ram and 512MB swap running 2.4.21-jam1 (it has the -aa vm). I can't shut it down cleanly, because trying it goes into endless loop trying to free memory when turning off swap. Nothing but alt-sysrq-b seems to work. I don't know if there is a kernel memory leak, since all user level processes should be killed at that point, right? Unfortunately I didn't have time to dig deeper, as the box is in (sort of) production. -- v -- v@iki.fi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
