Re: [gentoo-user] Serious stability problems [SOLVED]

[Alexander Puchmayr]

After a long discussion with a friend I changed some kernel-configs:

* Large Receive Offload (INET_LRO) disabled. 
* Changed allocator from SLUB to SLAB

These two made the system much more stable, much less allocation error 
messages, but not yet stable enough (still some freezes)

* Increased /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes. was at 8065, changed it to 16000 
which made the page allocations nearly disappear at all, with 20000 I 
didn't find any message after having copied more than 500GB. But still one 
freeze :-(

* Tried kernel boot parameter "noapic". Copied 500GB without any problem. No 
freeze, no page alloc error, no transmit timeout in rtl8169 driver.

With this configuration I consider the problem as solved.

Greetings and thanks to all who answered me
