Hello

With a new compiled kernel 2.4.10 I have the next problem's

first is gives the message "spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7." and I 
don't think that is normal for a PCI clock generator.

seconds, I have problem while I do 'md5sum a_cd_image_from_650_MByte'
The VM is killing a lot of processes while I have 512 MByte RAM and a
170 MB swap partition and there is only a just started machine with a
few services (take only 20 to 40 MByte ram)
The VM starts killing while the swap is only full for around 9 to 15
MByte (I cannot take a 'free' snapshot from that, while de bash is
killed every time) while there is room for +/- 170 MByte

I have a Abit KT7-raid with KT133 chipset, may the problem a hardware
problem.

And I'm not on a list, so if you want some more information or want to
reply, please mail 'munnikes AT cistron.nl'

You didn't include your .config, but it seems you have
CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y.

Please try either 2.4.10 with CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=n (don't worry,
you don't need it and won't lose any performance) or 2.4.9-ac with
CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=n and CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y.

There seems to be something amiss with the merge of the UP local APIC
code from -ac (where it's brilliant, but I'm biased) in 2.4.10, but I
haven't had time to investigate. I'm almost certain that it was a mistake
to lump UP *local APIC* and UP *IO-APIC* together under the same config
option in 2.4.10 -- they're separate in 2.4-ac.
