Re: Actual Real-Life Linux Problem




Hello,

  those messages look like the kernel has run out of virtual memory OR
there is something weird with your processor or chipset that makes your
new kernel thread on mines. Since the machine has run Linux before, the
second option is not really an option. 

  My hunch is, that something is being spawned until the whole machine is
full at boot time. To catch this with remote logging, add a script that
you will make, that prints the output from 'free' every second, early in
the boot process, to the console device. It should be the 1st thing that
init does. (Does init start ?).

hope this helps,

	Peter
