| |
I've been running 2.4.10 and 2.4.11-pre kernels on my desktops at work and at home, am am generally happy -
However, I have been doing some testing on a Red Hat 7.1 box, a Compaq 6500 with 4 CPUs and 1.2 GB RAM -
With any 2.4.11-pre kernel so far, the machine locks up hard within seconds of starting a dbench run. No log entries, and SysRq keys have no effect - The power button is the only option in this case.
Just for giggles, I tried 2.4.10-ac6, which survived a brutal round of dbench testing with no problems.
I also tried the roswell (2.4.7) and rawhide (2.4.9) kernels from Red Hat, and they are both rock solid as well in this testing.
