The attachment this gentleman included specifically points to prune_dcache(). Thats nice. It also means I'm not alone. See the 'prune_dcache() Oops, the saga continues' thread. I got in about 9pm after spending the afternoon inside a tv transmitter, having left the house about 1ish. Black screen. keyboard leds out. The usual. Last log entry was at 14:49 EDT this afternoon. Some file fam couldn't find message. Whenever it went down, it went so fast there was no logged trace. The next entry is syslogd restarting after I'd hit the reset button. So whatever took it down, did it all by itself as the only non-system processes running were setiathome, X and kmail (from kde3.2, kde3.2.3, and kde3.3-beta2, makes no diff, all fail in prune_dcache() ) making an every 10 minute run to get the mail. I *thought* I had PREEMPT turned off, but when I did a make xconfig, it was turned on. So its now off, and a new 2.6.8-rc3 is building. It was frame pointers I had turned on for the last build, still on for this one underway now. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
