After seeing the VM/buffer stuff go in and not having rebuilt my kernel since Dec 4, I decided it was about time for an upgrade, so I duly supped myself up to date and made world before building a new kernel. All was fine, it seemed until I tried to run X. X ran up fine and I started a copy of lucid emacs and started trying to do some work, running a compile. Unfortunately, the machine froze solid about 30secs later. I have no idea what happened and the kernel didn't dump a core. I have DDB in the kernel, so it may have been stopped in DDB but since the graphics card wasn't in text mode at the time, I wouldn't have seen it. Before running X, I had been doing a bit of I/O intensive stuff (make clean). and after, there would have been quite a bit of NFS traffic. I am a bit stumped now. I have gone back to my old kernel so that I can get some work done but I suppose I might be able to catch something by starting a build under X and quickly swapping back to another console to see if DDB says anything. -- Doug Rabson, RenderMorphics Ltd.
