Funny you should mention the lockup problem. I've got 2.1-stable running on a Dell 266MHz P-II that I can get to lock up whenever I want by taring a 60MB directory tree into an mfs filesystem mounted on /tmp. It doesn't lock up the first time I do this, but waits until I remove the file and run tar the second time. It's not anywhere close to running out of swap. Also the machine runs "make world" using mfs just fine. If I run top in another window, top continues to run even after tar hangs, but then top will also freeze if I ^C tar. The window running tar still responds to ^T, and I can still ping the machine. I can't get the machine to reboot and the only escape is to hit the reset button. The PCI hardware consists of an Adaptec 2940UW and an Intel Etherexpress PRO. I have not been able to reproduce this problem on any of the P-133's that are running the same OS release.
