Could you please send me your .config file ? Also, did you apply the
patches on top of straight v3.0 and what is your machine like ?

Thanks,


My .config will come separately to you. I applied the patches to Linus' master branch as of yesterday. My machine is a single Xeon 5690 with 12G of ram (do you need more details than that?)

Thanks,
Eric
