I've tested 2.4.19rc[1|2|3], AC tree, AA tree, jam tree and mjc tree All of them shows up the same behaviour. If i do some disk i/o, f.e.: tar xzpf linux-2.4.18.tar.gz; rm -rf linux-2.4.18 the system stopps reacting while untar/ungzipping the file for more than 5 seconds. Nothing but the mouse reacts. This does NOT occur with 2.4.18 and early 2.4.19-pre's ... System is a Celeron 800MHz, 256 MB RAM, EIDE UDMA100 Intel BX440 running ext3 filesystem. If you need more informations tell me what and I provide them. If this is already fixed by someone, please tell me :-) Please CC, i am not subscribed! -- Kind regards Marc-Christian Petersen http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolk PGP/GnuPG Key: 1024D/408B2D54947750EC Fingerprint: 8602 69E0 A9C2 A509 8661 2B0B 408B 2D54 9477 50EC Key available at www.keyserver.net.
