Hi,

Apologizes if these problems have already been reported; I am not
subscribed to this list.

I've been having several problems with the recent development
kernels. First, they all fail to detect my SoundBlaster 16, while
2.3.29 detects it. I can give more details on this if necessary.

Secondly, with 2.3.32 and 2.3.33, gdmlogin causes a kernel oops.

2.3.29 is the most usable kernel for me so far, but about every day I
have to reboot because I get 'dst cache overflow' messages, and my
networking (and System V IPC too, I think) goes down.

My hardware:
Asus P2B-D motherboard
2 Pentium II 350MHz
SoundBlaster 16 ISA
Netgear ethernet card (eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC at 0xb800)
Adaptec 2880 Ultra Wide SCSI
