Re: SMP machine hangs ofter
These are the same symptoms that I am having. It has been driving me
crazy! I am running Debian 2.2r3 with Ximian installed.
I am running ASUS P2B-DS with dual Pentium III 500 and 512 Meg RAM.
I find the following:
* Performance actually improves with hard use. (That is, if I am
running a lot of processes - including VMware - they run faster when
different programs are running.
* Network connections seem to "stutter". By that I mean that I
periodically get very long delays and then things speed up again.
* System lock up occurs less frequently, but the symptom are mouse
freezing and sometimes the disk will seem to go into long periods of
activity (about 1/2 hour!)
I was planning to upgrade to the 2.4 kernel to see if that helped.
Do you have any new thoughts about what the problem may be?
Regards,
Randy
