Hi.
I already thought "swapper" to be unrelated to "swap", but who knows.
The linked article is pretty old, isnt it? I used mdadm to create the raid1 and "echo check > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action" to regulary start the check. Its exactly the same kernel as before (the one crashing); Still the gentoo-kernel (vanilla+fbcondecor).
I will send a mail if anything happens.
Thanks for your time, Markus
