I have the same situation but with 2.2.0-pre7 on my Inet server. Not havy loaded server for mail/news/ftp/http/etc. Usual load does not exceed 0.1, but after ~15-30 hours the load start growing and machine became fully unusable in several minutes. I have top running and can't see anythimg unusual except growing load. With previous kernel 2.1.131 last uptime was 57 days without any problems. Here my ver_linux output: Linux irina 2.2.0-pre7 #2 Thu Jan 21 21:51:06 EET 1999 i586 unknown Kernel modules 2.1.121 Gnu C egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release) Binutils 2.9.1.0.7 Linux C Library 5.4.46 Dynamic linker ldd: version 1.9.9 Linux C++ Library 2.8.1 Linux C++ Library 2.8.0 Procps 1.2.7 Mount 2.9g Net-tools (1998-12-05) Kbd 0.94 Sh-utils 1.16 Machine is IP200MMX on VIA VPX motherboard.
