| |
I decided to give 2.3.46 and devfs a try. It seems unstable though, and goes into an OOPS-loop after a while. 2.3.39 is solid on the same machine - 34 days uptime with lots of compiles and network traffic.
I can't decode the OOPS as it loops and scrolls by too fast to write down the numbers. It seems to happen if I press a key during a busy kernel compile, such as trying to switch to another virtual console.
The machine has 128M, pentium II UP, a single IDE drive using PIIX dma, and a 3x905 ethernet card. I attempted to use devfs with no backward compatibility, i.e. with inittab and fstab changed to use vc/1 instead of tty1 and /dev/discs/disc0/part3 instead of /dev/hda3 and so on.
The kernel is compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3, and no outside patches except the compile-fix to ll_rw_blk.c
