| |
Hi Alan,
First, I'm still seeing the same problem with swapoff -a which started with -pre4-ac7.
# swapoff -a Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00001000 printing eip: c014b5c1 *pde=000000000 Oops: 2 [lots of hex numbers snipped] </sbin/swapoff segfaults>
The oops doesn't shut down the system -- everything continues on as if nothing had happened. The swapspace is disabled and can be re-enabled with swapon as desired.
Also, if I specify the swap partition by name instead of using the -a flag to swapoff, everything works normally. Something about the -a flag causes the problem.
Second (new) problem: My Broadcom Tigon network chip doesn't work with -pre5-ac1, but it did work just fine with pre4-ac7 and earlier. It shows up in 'ifconfig' as usual but I can't ping or connect to any machine other than localhost.
I'm happy to supply any other information you may need. Just let me know if I should provide more info.
Anyone else seeing these problems?
