1-Are you compiling your kernel with PCI optimizations?
2-Are you compiling your kernel with Triton Bus-Mastering (i call it something
else) enabled?
3-Do you use modules....
For your info, just in case...
I run a gateway P100 with 24 meg ram, and 16 meg swap.
All IDE, no modules.
Gcc 2.7.0, etc....
When I dove into the 1.3.xx kernels I got Triton Bus bastarding, errr Mastering
enabled, and at boot some messages started showing up (about 1.3.62 or 64).
Unfortunately, anywhere from 5 to 50 minutes into testing, while in Xwindows,
the system locks up solid... no ctrl-alt nothing.
Also mounted had my ms-junk drive mounted. The first time this crash occured,
I was rebuilding win95 and trying to hack my way back on to my own linux drive.
It has happened with every kernel since then, and as soon as i get 1.3.68 in,
ill be testing with it to see if I can narrow down the problem.
So, the big ? is, anyone else got some pointers?????
Thanks for bringin this out Ryan, I appreciate it.
