So I not alone, thats comforting (I think) I just woke up, and I think the next test compile will be done without the pre-emptable bkl turned on. That was the only diff in the config I saw when my script ran a make oldconfig, and it defaulted to a Y so I accepted it when it ran. Half an hour later (mount had to e2fsck a couple BIG partitions) Ok, that fixed it and I'm running on it now. That was the checkbox to make the big-kernel-lock pre-emptable that I unchecked in a "make xconfig". So I guess that particular patch still needs help. I also took this back to the lkml for others to be made aware. But I wonder whats so odd about our two systems, so far, we are the only ones to be effected, so lets compare notes: AMD Athlon 2800xp, biostar N7-NCD-Pro motherboard with an nforce2 chipset, and using the forcedeth driver for eth0. A gigabyte of DDR400 rated ram running in DDR333 dual channel mode, the 2800xp Athlon can't handle the DDR400 fsb correctly. No acpi is enabled, and apm only for shutdown control & rtc handling. >On Sunday 26 September 2004 9:53 pm, Gene Heskett wrote: >> On Sunday 26 September 2004 21:10, Andrew Morton wrote: >> >ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6 >> >.9- rc2/2.6.9-rc2-mm4/ >> > >> >- ppc64 builds are busted due to breakage in bk-pci.patch >> > >> >- sparc64 builds are busted too.
