HI all,

I upgraded my test box (Compaq 6500,
4 CPUs, 1.2 GB RAM) to Red Hat 7.2,
which went very nicely. It seems stable
and tux is very very fast.

I have been pleased with 2.4.14 on several
desktop systems, so my next step was to
build 2.4.14 on the Compaq - I decided to
apply the 2.4.14-1-preempt-patch as well.

I built/booted the new kernel, and started
my usual dbench run to check it out -

Ironically, I then witnessed a disastrous
file corruption, the likes of which I'd never
seen in years of using ext2 - in short, the
old lockup that was previously fixed is back,
nastier than ever - and this time it caused
the box to scribble on /usr/lib before dying.

A few seconds after starting "dbench 16",
the server locked hard. (When it came back
up, many programs were not functional, with
claims of invalid or corrupt libraries)

I was however able to hand copy the oops
from the console and run through ksymoops
after bringing the box backup again:

add Option "AGPMode" "4"  to the device section of your XF86Config file
to use 4x AGP.
