SubjectRe: status of Linux on Alpha?
Hello there,

Presently, I reached a stage on which I don't know longer what to do:-(
I isolated the problem between 2.6.3-rc1 and 2.6.3-rc2. I
also reverted 1.1608.56.1 , 1.1608.51.36 and all xfs related patches
from rc2 with no luck.
All other changes seems unrelated to me.

I'm really interested to solve the problem but I need your help.

What I noticed is that a make -j10 vmlinux triggers the problem the
fastest.

Thank you

Regards

Marc
