Re: Linux 2.4.21pre3-ac2

[Jean-Daniel Pauget <jd@disjunkt.com>]

    I had some strange bug using 2.4.21pre3-ac2 :
    at rebooting after a freeze (my machine freezes from time to time
    whatever the kernel is, I'm still diging that point)
    fsck.ext2 was not able to finish checking my /home (59Gb), it
    systematically got a signal 11 (I tried several times).

    rebooting using my previous kernel (2.4.20 with a minor patch for the
    i845G AGP mess-up) was enough so that the fsck worked fine at the first
    attempt with this kernel.

    this triggers two questions :
	o is the new piix-ide faulty ?
	o are 256 Mb of memory enough for fscking a 58Gb partition ?

    about signal 11, I tested my machine with several concurent kernel
    built with no signal 11 before (with 2.4.20 and prior)

    the machine is an ASUS P4PE motherboard, 2,4GHz PIV 256Mb
    and a nvidia Ge4-Ti4200. (at signal 11, the nvidia tainted module was
    not loaded yet :)

    thanks in advance for any enlightment...

    here-below, the lspci and /proc/pci...
