--- Comment #8 from Scott Couston
Why do you think this is a RAM issue at all? The kernel never uses up cache memory at the expense of an application, see the page I linked to above for details about that, and how it all works.
In the pics I have sent you the available RAM gets down to almost 128Meg out of 4 GIG. Its clearly visible. When the available RAM gets lower than 128Meg the O/S falls over. I can leave a PC that has used 3.6GIG of RAM devoted to Cache, come back in an hour and ache has not been flushed. This is very easily duplicated by using ANY multimedia application and a DVD full of many many large files...With less that 128Meg of RAM available in both my pics the O/S predictably falls over..Backtrace to be uploaded as soon as possible, however the backtrace is NOT going to tell your why the PC fell Over as the root cause is not the application or Windowing Manager falling over because of a code problem...This is why this problem has so many bugs open surrounding this issue but not providing accurate backtrace info to solve the basic problem. There are also bugs created against gnome and other Multimedia applications that fall over as the number of files and the size of the files to cache from DVD is so huge! Can you tell me which audit logs I can upload immediately that contains the history of the Windowing Manager or O/S falling over..thanks -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
