Subject: Memory free report error (kernel-2.4.10-ac10)
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2001 16:10:58 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0110101605120.733-100000@base.torri.linux> (raw)
I have installed and used kernel-2.4.10-ac10 on a SMP system (Dual P3)
using 768 MB Ram. Yet on startup of the system (RedHat 7.0), the system
resources are almost all used. Here are the files started:

Here is the version I am using (/proc/version):

I have never run across this problem. I don't know where to begin or what
information is required to help debug this. Advise would be helpful.
