Problem: kernel 2.1.24/modutil 2.1.23 are locking randomly near enabling swap.
Method: From a working 2.1.22 system 2.1.24 and modutil 2.1.13 were compiled. The kernel, modules and modutils were installed prior to rebooting the system. The machine locked hard around enabling swap (once at that message, once just before, and once just after). An attempt was made to boot the 2.1.22 kernel with the 2.1.13 modutil still installed but all modules failed to load. Returning to modutil-970104 resulted in a working 2.1.22 system. As a test 2.1.24 was booted with modutil-970104. The System did not lock but did fail to load the modules.
Discussion: Modutil-2.1.23 is not providing backwards compatability. Modutil also appears to be involved in hard locks on this system.
