The bootloader uses tmpfs to build a file system and it's dying there. On the development server, I'm getting such nifty things as: root@s3:/mfxlinux/Npublish# grep -ri Slackware * Build_Modules.sh:Base="Slackware" Build_Modules.sh: if [ "$Base" = "Slackware" ]; then Build_Modules.sh: Line=${Line/"RedHat"/"Slackware"} Build_Modules.sh: Line=${Line/"Slackware"/"RedHat"} Initial/etc/Base:Slackware grep: memory exhausted root@s3:/mfxlinux/Npublish# The memory exhausted is not nice. 2GB ram on this server. Runs fine when I rev to 2.6.10-rc2. Obviously something else is broken in bk12. *** Also, Herbert's email system is blocking messages from my zone. If you can forward to him, that would be appreciated. *** Re the bk12, is there just 1 patch that I should install to 2.6.10-rc2 to test IPSec? If I don't fiddle with the mm code, we might be able to make some progress on this part. I just love simultaneous equations with 1000 or more variables... ;-) Bill Patrick McHardy wrote: > Herbert Xu wrote: > >> James Morris wrote: >> >> >>> I wonder if it's the same bug as >>> http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3796 >>> >> >> >> Quite likely. >> >> Bill, can you please try the latest BK tree and see if you can >> still reproduce the hang? >> >> > The patch is not in Linus's tree yet, so you need to apply it > yourself. > > Regards > Patrick > > > -- William G.
