Dec 12 15:29:14 <VoodooZ> I just noticed that the tickless and high-res timers are enabled by default in the defconfig for kernel 2.6.22+... I'm looking forward to playing with that..
Dec 12 15:29:41 <VoodooZ> Now what was the specific issues with running those newer kernels?
Dec 12 15:46:57 <joshin> I have a problem when using my slug for very I/O and memory intensive applications (untarring the kernel) that the kernel will be unable to allocate memory and invoke the oom-killer.  I'm pretty sure it is some annoying thing with either the USB driver being paged out to the USB disk or the kernel's request for swap timing out due to the bus being busy.
Dec 12 15:48:21 <VoodooZ> oom-killer?
Dec 12 15:53:03 <joshin> The kernel's "out of memory killer"  a vicious terminator of seemingly random applications until there is enough free memory for the kernel to go on.  It is evil.
Dec 12 15:59:37 * VoodooZ runs away screaming...
