Are you using highmem (> 900Mb RAM in the box)

Alan

Yes, it's got 1 GB of ram in the box of P4 with i845G. in an ASUS P4PE motherboard.

BTW, After several segmentation faults from a few repeated tries of unsuccessful tar command, the machine got frozen.

I had the same thing happen here using 2.4.21-pre3-ac2. cpio segfaulted and then the machine hung. I went back to 2.4.21-pre3 and all is well, so far.

If you build a kernel with highmem disabled does it become stable ?
