# When I boot 2.1.95, my system runs for about five minutes # and then locks up cold. It is not pingable, and there is absolutely # no response to anything I try to do from the keyboard. It is completely # frozen, just like in 2.1.93 and 2.1.94.
Yep, me too, sorta.
my informal tests:
2.1.94 - I ran a compile of the kernel in an endless loop with absolutely no problems. For hours. But someplace between one and two hours after I stopped it (and the machine was idle) it 'sorta' locked up.
Alt-sysRq worked fine. I could change VC's. Pings were happy. But I couldn't type anything. I was able to sync, umount and reboot just fine.
2.1.95 - I ran
#!/bin/sh
while : do make clean;make depend;make -j zImage done
on two different trees concurrently. After about two hours (and a load average of 35 :) it did exactly what 2.1.94 did. alt-sysrq worked as expected.
