Hi Erik,
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.
Sure - that would be a good idea. I just don't know if that'll work -
although I haven't tried.
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...
Don't know about that, but if you need a 2.4 branch, you could try
2.4.29 or 2.4.30-rc3.
Now, I could try those in my RH 7.3 VMware...
I'm considering testing it in VMWare with swap disabled - I'll do that,
yes - good idea... Gollum! ;-)
That should indeed be an easy way to test. User mode linux would be
another way to test.
I just tried in my FC2 (2.6.5) with no swap - disabled it from
/etc/fstab - and it still works as it should - as opposed to my embedded
target.
I guess I'll go for the RH 7.3 test now...
Thanks for pushing my into the "right" direction Erik...
