I have not seen the mmu_context_overflow - but the /proc/ppc_htab has been causing a lock-up since at least 2.3.51 (sorry it slipped my mind). I'm using Paul's rsync (latest I've tried is 2.3.99-pre3). > I'm sure you don't feel like crashing a remote box again, but if you or > anyone else could cat /proc/ppc_htab and tell if panics and perhaps post > the OOPS. Unfortunately there was no panic, OOPS or anything - and - unlike Geert's my system never came back - just locked up completely - requiring a three finger salute to get anywhere. G3/minitower (beige). Not as much help as I would like - apart from the fact that it was completely repeatable - I'm out of circulation for 5 weeks now - paid work ;-) but if there's anything I can supply by tomorrow night that will throw more light on it - let me know.
