Matthew,
perhaps kernel 2.4 puts more stress on your _overclocked_ CPU than 2.2 did,
rendering it unusable. BTW, you said you got a database corruption and you
felt it was kernel 2.2's fault... I guess there are more people who get
problems with excessive overclocking than those getting problems with kernel
2.2 !
I _have_ already overclocked several pentiums 75 in the past, some of them
could even run at 120 MHz. The least I could say is that this processor is the
worst reliable overclocker because it _seems_ to work but you still get a few
glitches in very specific applications. I had people tell me that they were
used to set it back to 75 to run photoshop, but "everything else runs just
fine" ! And it doesn't support aging very well, and must be set back to its
original speed after several months (or you need to considerably raise the
voltage).
So I would say : please set this CPU to 75 MHz and test 2.4 again on it. IF
you still have problems, THEN you can get back here to seek some help. But
don't hope for much help under these stupid conditions.
