Hi Kevin,
I tried 2.4.10 from kernel.org and it would lock hard once I needed VM.
I just compiled 2.4.10-ac8 this morning and so far so good. I've got
112Mb on my machine and (conveniently enough) can run GNOME plus a few
apps before hitting swap. So I took it right to the edge of physical
memory and then started Mozilla. No problems. With 2.4.10 (kernel.org)
this was certain death.
Previously I had 2.4.6 running which worked but would get very slow when
swapping. Abnormally slow. (Mouse would freeze temporarily while
swapping). Not seeing that behavior so far.
Hope that helps a bit. Not exactly a battle-tested kernel or anything
but so far I find 2.4.10-ac8 to be an improvement over <=2.4.6
Cheers,
Keith
