A few days ago, I indicated that I was testing subject kernel on various
systems (U2-SMP, U60-SMP, SB1000-MP) for stability. U60/SB1000 appear
to be stable.
However, U2-SMP(2x450) is not. As is the case with ALL 2.6.xx kernels,
2.6.15-r4 cannot handle the sort of disk activity which portage requires
of it on a daily basis (although the daily slocate cron task no linger
kills it). Symptom is as with all kernels in the 2.6.xx series ---
silent death with system completely non-responsive to anything.
Regards,
Ferris
