I hope I won't get flamage for asking things that have been asked dozens of times
before and for not noting everything that happened when I experienced the first
kernel crash in my Linux life.
Well, that's my first issue in this posting. My 2.1.92 kernel crashed on shutdown,
when terminating crond, with an Oops. It blasted a register&stack snapshot at me and
crash it went. I had done something rather unusual before; I had run this
for I in *.xpm
do echo $I
xv $I &
done
over a directory with some 200 pixmaps; shouldn't have done this with just 16 megs
of core and 32 megs of swap. But I managed to kill the X server off, get back to kdm
and did a shutdown. Then I blew it, as you can see.
Two more things:
- I've got two kernels on my SuSE Linux 5.2 system (2.0.33 and 2.1.92). When I boot
with 2.1.92 I get dozens of messages about capabilities being raised. I feel like it
slows the boot-up down. What are these messages about? I never heard the word
"capabilities" related to Unix or Linux before. Can these messages be disabled?
- Whenever 2.1.92 boots up, my ISDN modem's TRANSFER LED flashes. The rhythm is the
same as the rhythm of the messages cranked out, so I think the kernel must be
blasting all its messages into the serial tty. Has this got anything to do with the
messages about my cua-s being deprecated devices or something like that?
Thank you -- mawa
