What a relief, I was getting worried.
It is indeed going faster on my 486/33 than on 2.0.30, the real test will
be when I recompile the kernel, see if it is shorter than 4.5 hrs.

It's probably not as simple for the
kmem-free: Either bad obj addr or <etc...>
VFS: brelse: Trying to free free buffer

message which I get quite often even on an iddle full screen

My PC has to stay on because when my hard disk gets cold it won't boot up
Every mornings I get several copies of these messages, always the same one.
No one seem to know anything about it, am I the only one with this or
is it some debug stuff I shouldn't worry about?
