Sure - that would be a good idea. I just don't know if that'll work - although I haven't tried.Does anybody have an idea to where I can take this question?Linux-kernel would be a good place, but before you do, make sure you try to recreate your problem on a *recent* kernel. There were some changes to the VM system in the two years since 2.4.20 was released. Nobody is interested in fixing bugs in ancient kernel releases.
The kernel in question is given by my board vendor and has been patched with respect to the hardware - NAND flash, etc.
But maybe these patches are put into the 2.6 branch - haven't looked, yet...
It's a PPChameleon board with a PPC405...
I'm considering testing it in VMWare with swap disabled - I'll do that, yes - good idea... Gollum! ;-)
