In the middle of a routine file editing, I noticed some weird messages: /kernel: swap_pager: suggest more swap space : 253MB . ./kernel: swap_pager: suggest more swap space: 253MB Soon after my X environment froze and I couldn't exit without having to power cycle my standalone PC. After the system came back up i tried again to establish my X session and as soon as X came up the problem started again and this time more strange messages: /kernel: sio0: 14 more tty-level buffer overflows (total 14) /kernel: sio0: 57 more tty-level buffer overflows (total 71) /kernel: sio0: 84 more tty-level buffer overflows (total 155) . . . ./kernel: sio0: 5 more tty-levol buffer overflows (total 583) My system is a Pentium II (350 Mhz) with 128MB and about 120MB swap. As i mentioned, this is a standalone PC and there were no jobs running on the system as far as i know. Any pointers/suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks Nesi.
