The 3.1.1-1 smp kernel proved to be quite unreliable on the ES45. It
crashed during the test suite of a build of git. I mean to do some more
testing before reporting to the linux-kernel mail list.
I have temporarily gone back to the modified 2.6.32 lenny-backports smp
kernel that I built for the buildds. The test suite of the git build
worked fine. It has been working now for a few days on the ES45 without
problem...
Acutally, no, not quite. Running dmesg now and I see that a page
allocation failure has recently been reported. I think that is what you
reported happening on the A1200. So, maybe I don't have a better
kernel. Hmmmmmmmmm
Cheers
Michael.
