The application I'm working on is a highly parallel build/make system. The 4 180Mhz machines, running 3 compiles each, takes 1 minute 30 seconds to compile 110 sources. The 4way box, however, takes 1 hour and a few minutes to do the same amount of work. Top reports user cpu at 2%, system cpu at 95%, and the rest is interrupts. This holds very constant. The last SNAP I had installed was 3.0-970815-SNAP, where I didn't see this problem (but was having serious networking/NIC problems). As always, I'm more than happy to try and track this down if someone can point me in the right direction.

I have avoided updating until the guspnp had been updated to support the new poll call. Dont overclock the 133s to 150. At 133 they will be faster because you will have a 66MHz bus speed instead of a 60MHz bus speed at 150.

Some time later (2-3 hours?) the kernel locked up solid. No response to CAPS LOCK or anything. A hard reset was necessary to reboot. My motherboard is a Giga-Byte GA586DX 2xp5/200. Kernel was built on 25/9/97. What info or debugging do you need to track this?

If this board should work fine, then it will certainly be a good choice, because of the huge feature list. You don't need an Ethernet card, don't need a SCSI controller, sound card and so on ...

Also, and I think related to this, if I have a CPU- intensive process running on the system (even on one cpu) interactive response goes down the drain. Mika ------- End of Forwarded Message
