Hi,
I have just tried out my first 2.6test5 kernel. upgrading from 2.4.17.
I seem to be experiencing some problems with it. boot and load X ok, but
as soon as I try and do anything interesting in X, like run xchat, or
apt-get update, the system grings to a halt. the load goes through the
roof, and the hdd starts grinding away madly.
But I can run my system quite succesfully under 2.4
A friend told me I should send you the output of a vmstat 1, while its
churning away. So I have made a log which I have included in this email.
Pleaes CC resposes to me as I am not part of this mailing list.
Hope this is of some use.
Let me know if you need any more information about this.
Jason
