Data point: I've also seen this, with a 4-STABLE source tree cvsuped on 23rd August. The affected machine is a AMD K6-2/333 based desktop system. I'd done a binary upgrade from 3.4-RELEASE to 4.1-RELEASE and then cvsupped and compiled STABLE. When things then went horribly wrong I assumed that I'd messed something up during the upgrade, blew everything away, and went for a fresh install of 4.1-RELEASE. I'm running this okay, with a GENERIC kernel, and haven't had a chance to try building a custom kernel or sync up to STABLE again yet. I run 4-STABLE built from the *same* 23rd August source tree on a Sony Vaio 505SN (with a 400MHz Mobile Pentium II) and I haven't seen a problem there. Could the problem be something perculier to the K6? What sort of hardware are you running, Matt? Regards, Neil Hoggarth.
