The kernel : stock 2.1.128
compiled with pgcc, based upon egcs-1.0.3 and -O6: instant freeze
same compiler, -O6 and arch/kernel/time.c with -O2 : freeze after
mounting the swap file
compiled with gcc-2.8.1, -O2 : seems OK
The circumstances :
- starting netscape (I get the main window, and bang!)
- browsing through netscape
- a console switch in a svga based application
I also lose randomly the network. Cure : cron starts a ping every hour,
in case of error, ifconfig eth0 down, rmmod eepro, and restart the whole
thing.
Platform :
P2B-DS Asus motherboard, 2 PII-333, 64 MB RAM, 16 Mb swap (seems never
used)
3.2 Gb HD, UDMA mode enabled by the BIOS
"no name" S3 Trio64 grafic card
Intel Etherexpress Pro10 card (the driver is 0.09, I think there is a 0.10
floating around ?)
gcc-2.8.1, glibc-2.0.6
More config on request
Does someone experiment the same thing ? Are there things I should worry
about ?
Thanks in advance

-- feature, n: A surprising property of a program. Occasionaly documented. To call a property a feature sometimes means the author did not consider that case, and the program makes an unexpected, though not necessarily wrong response. See BUG. "That's not a bug, it's a feature!" A bug can be changed to a feature by documenting it.
