I'm running 2.2-STABLE and have zero problems at all ! Runs perfectly stable !

Just in case that you read the mailing lists and news you might have noticed, that Justin worked very hard on that and if you update your machine to 2.2-STABLE, you'll see, that all the problems will go away. I have a really rock solid 2.2-STABLE here, no matter if I do large I/O disk benchmarks, dumps and such ! I'll give you a kernel config file as reference in the attachement. > I am trying to get a 2.2 kernel that runs for more than 5 minutes without a > panic on the open problem (with short shell scripts, etc.). _The_ open problem ??? Is it a well known problem ? ;-)) Well, I have _zero_ problems in this area. FreeBSD acts as a Internet gateway here and I' gettings nearly all mailing-lists, have squid running, a WWW Server ... and no problems with open. I suggest you tell your problems more verbously. But anyway ... there is a STABLE tree, that's RELENG_2_2, either you cvsup the sources or the cvs repository, if the latter is the case for you, simply checkout RELENG_2_2 # cd /somewhere_with_about_150_MB_free_space # cvs checkout -r RELENG_2_2 src # cd src && time make world >& world.log & Since you have problems with your SCSI subsystem it's surely a good idea to build and install a new stable kernel first before doing a make world.
