| |
Hi all.
I was running 2.0.12 on my SMP dual p-166 system just fine. I had to take the machine down to add some hardware, and decided to upgrade to the latest (2.0.18).
Compiled kernel, installed, rebooted. Everything came up fine, but after a short period of time, the machine locked up. Total lock up. Had to hit the reset button. ;(
Did some things to track it down further.
It appears that 2.0.14 is the last kernel that doesn't lock up my machine. 2.0.15 - 2.0.18 all exibit the lock up. Also, I narrowed the lock up down to when the machine is about to swap. ie, 90+% of memory is used and you start something like a netscape or XEmacs.
I know a number of people that have upgraded their uniprocessor machines to 2.0.18 and had no problems. Is there anything that has been added to SMP that might be causing problems?
Is there anything I can do to further track down the problem? I get no oops or other output, the machine just locks up solid (perhaps trying to swap to the disk?)
any other ideas? Thanks for any suggestions...
kevin
