kernel 2.4.23 problem
hello everybody
Since i've upgrade kernel 2.4.22 to 2.4.23 my system is unstable under debian sid like this message:
I experienced random unstabilites with 2.4.23 and Debian sid too. This does not occured with 2.4.22.
The system freezes with the keyboard led blinking. Without ax25 running, everything is fine.
i' haven't check 2.4.23 without ax25 but 2.4.22 run fine here. i've also look a currious swap problem with 2.4.23 and ax25.
Do you know the fix for this problem ?
the only way is it upgrade to kernel 2.6 ?
Thanks, Tony

Running Fedora Core 1 here with the 2.4.23 kernel and the ax25-patches from:
ftp://ham2.cc.fer.hr/pub/users/9a4gl/9a4gl-ax25-2423-20031210.patch
Without these patches netrom hanged the system frequently (on previous versions of the 2.4-kernel.) So try to apply this patch and see if that helps.

The best long term fix is to upgrade to 2.6.0 (or newer), as the 2.6.x kernel has numerous bug fixes. No offense to 9a4gl but as far as I know his patch does not fix everything that Ralf and Joeron (sp?) have been working on.
The reason it is flakey under 2.4.x (for some people) is that some basic or fundemental assumptions changed between 2.2.x and 2.4.x and at the time no one made the necessary changes to AX.25 and the device drivers. So some people will be bit by these bugs while others get luckily and don't see them (faster, more complex setups, especially gateways seem to be affected the most).
I believe that Debian 3.0 'testing' or 'unstable' both support the 2.6.x kernel. (RedHat Linux 9 + module-init-util, or Fedora core 1 also support 2.6 AFAIK)
There is a 2.6.0 HOWTO at <http://www.kerneltrap.com/>
Hope that helps,

Debian doesn't have pre-built 2.6.0 packages yet but you can built it yourself using make-kpkg (from kernel-package), install module-init-tools and you're all set.
