Package: linux-image-2.6.28-1-686
Version: 2.6.28-1: i386 (debian/unstable)
System: Debian/sid
Processor: Intel Pentium M 1.70 GHz (Family 6 Model 13 Stepping 6)
Memory: 995.30 MB physical, 494.15 MB virtual
After upgrading kernel 2.6.26-1-686 to 2.6.28-1-686 the system starts writing to the swap disk while the physical memory is not fully used.
After a quite short time of computing, the swap disk is full.
This never happened with kernel 2.6.26 nor any other previous kernel. Previously the swap disk was almost not used.
The only change I did was uprading the linux-image.
Best regards,
Jos v. Wolput
