    Hi

    I have a Dual Pentium III 500 Mhz machine.
    It has 1GB of memory, an internal amimegaraid controller, two additional
    scsi ultra-wide controller sym53c875E (using sym53c8xx.o) and acenic
    gigabit ethernet card. I'm patching every kernel to use vlan (802.1Q) and
    reiserfs. Currently a 2.4.0-test4 kernel i running on it and it is really
    stable. uptime 2 months. But no support for the 1GB of memory. Just the
    ~900 MB.

    I decided to use the newest patch for reiserfs and vlan and the newest
    kernel. 2.4.0-test8 and 2.4.0-test9. Both kernels had the 4GB support
    enabled. They boot fine but the load keeps rising. Sendmail didn't start
    anymore and the ftpserver (proftpd), though connections were established,
    didn't let you transfer anything. There was no real load on the computer
    but the load kept rising until it reached 150, which was the point where i
    rebooted the thing an switched back to 2.4.0-test4.
