| |
Running kernel 2.4.9, if I start xcdroast 0.98alpha9 as an ordinary user, the system seems to freeze indefinitely.
If I start it as root, however, the system only freeze for 2-3 seconds. After this time, if I check dmesg, I get a slew of __alloc_pages failures, even 0-order failures.
Being unable to diagnose the complete lockup in the user case any better, I assume that this is what's happening there, too, only indefinitely.
The system is an AMD Thunderbird 900MHz with 2 IDE CD-ROM drives, both use ide-scsi. One is a burner, the other is a DVD-ROM drive.
I'll try and get a backtrace of whats happening during the lockup later when I can hook up my serial console. -- -Steven In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. -- George Orwell - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
