Hi,

I booted knoppix cd v5.0 toram with 1G of ram and 352M of swap.

I mounted a clean ext2 partiton (4,5 G) and did a search ( find . -exec grep -lsi 'passwd' {} \; ) the system hung and I lost the control. I had to ctrl sysrq s and u and b.
The free swap was 270M and the memory 12M, the cpu load 60%.

Then I did the same but NOT in toram mode and all was fine: no oops!

The I did the same but with toram + NOSWAP and all was fine

__________________________________________________ ________________

I made a minicd based in the 5.0 version with the 2.6.28 kernel, the cd is only 220M.
If I boot my minicd and do the same search I have the same behaviour: oops with toram and swap on, fine with toram without swap, fine with not toram with or without swap.

Any clue?

Cheers

Max
