Re: stress test fails

Hello,

You mention the gentoo openMosix kernel 2.4.30

The official oM 2.4 kernel is version 2.4.26.

I have never had much success with the gentoo's attempt at an oM kernel...
but i do believe others have (proof?)

I would recomend that you build your own kernel using the om 2.4.26 patch.

Hopes that helps...

Martin
