Thanks for the reply...
I am running linuxplanet-2.2.13.  I have since learned that the 860T Rev B3
silicon has a bug in the data cache and since I disabled the data caching
the kernel is stable.

What kernel are you running and what patches did you apply?  This
happens when you screw up a PTE, and some of the MMU patches floating
around can cause this.

I must have screwed up....there should be an option to enable the "CPU6"
software patches.  If not, I should probably post a patch......

Swap space on Embedded Planet CLLF 860

[Tom Miles]

I have my CLLF 860 coming up via TFTP boot with a NFS mounted root file
system.  The kernel crashes after a short while always in relation to a page
swap.  As near as I can tell I do not have any swap space set up and am not
sure how to do so in this environment.

Do I somehow use ramdisk or can I just turn of swapping somehow?
