OK. I will monitor the /proc/slabinfo file.

Neil, I'm trying to recompile the kernel source 2.4.21-32.0.1 and get
some error messages:

Is there any relationship between the sysrq-m changes to do show_state()
rather than a show_mem() and the compiling erros?

/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL/include/linux/prefetch.h, line 13:
#include <asm/processor.h>

/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL/include/linux/list.h ,line 6:
#include <linux/prefetch.h>

/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-32.0.1.EL/include/linux/module.h, line 12:
#include <linux/list.h>

3w-xxxx.c, line 172:
#include <linux/module.h>

Any ideia about the kernel compiling erros?

(If I try to recompile a kernel.org kernel, it is compiled fine).

Thanks again.

Márcio.
