Re: s2875 tyan kernel memory problem



The current unstable 2.6.16 kernel image works OK, it doesnt have the problem.
Unfortunately I need gcc-4.0 to compile the nvidia module, so can only
verify that the stress test works. Other than that i had to download and recompile
yaird from source to allow the kernel package to install with sarge
stable. I imagine this is a kernel bug fixed somewhere between 2.6.8 and 2.6.11.

So thanks for the help.
