Hi Andrew et al.
I am having problems starting gnome in the 2.5.64-mmX (X>1). 2.5.64 and
2.5.64-mm1 work ok, 2.5.64-mm2 doesn't compile for me and the more
recent -mm don't work.
The problem is that gnome never fully gets started, it gets a variable
way through starting and then gnome slows down and dies. Shortly after
the system eventually becomes useless. Sometimes the background doesn't
even make it up, sometimes the panel almost makes it up. Sometimes I can
switch vts and get a few commands off but besides finding a few gnome
processes in the D state, I didn't see any thing. Got any suggestions on
what to look at here? This is a athlon, IDE, bttv, 3com system.
Here are those D procs (edited for readability)

Processes getting stuck in D is most likely to be an anticipatory
scheduler bug. Please boot with elevator=deadline. Thanks.

Thanks! That does appear to have done the trick. I am in -mm6 now :)
