[...] i took your advice and booted with "nosmp" and "noacpi" into single-user. then i enabled all modules i used to load. i tried to produce some I/O with "updatedb" and "find /" and so on, everything looked fine. the most time consuming part was starting some apps out of my init-scripts, see if the survive some minutes while using the system. i finally narrowed it down to a few applications left, but further testing is required. (due to my lack of time, i'll go on tomorrow) >> You may also have a defect in your RAM. i did not try removing RAM or booting a 2.4.22 with no "HIGHMEM set". oh, an can it be, that when i boot with "nosmp noapic", the use of APIC is forced and APIC is initialized upon booting? i don't have the exact dmesg output right now, but i remembered sth. like this. Thank you, Christian. -- BOFH excuse #417: Computer room being moved. Our systems are down for the weekend.
