#7508: Enabling multiple CPU core cuases system instability during builds etc. -----------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: stargatefan | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: System/Kernel | Version: R1/alpha2 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All -----------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by tonestone57): You did disable virtual memory (swap) right? swap size should be zero in size and checked in ActivityMonitor. If swap is disabled and still acting up then that would say real big problem. Issue may relate to virtual memory or even something else. You have to really push the system to get it to KDL. At least then you can give some debug info. Maybe try jam -j6 plus run bunch of other programs at same time like Teapot, Haiku3d, Chart, etc. Hopefully that gets the OS to crash for you. It may also corrupt files so be ready to deal with that. You need to run lots and lots of programs to max out your CPUs and push the OS very hard to crash. Virtual memory was not disabling right and I do not think that bug was fixed yet. Disable virtual memory from preferences, reboot, delete /boot/common/var/swap, reboot, run checkfs, reboot and then try run jam and check ActivityMonitor for swap size of zero. Only by giving KDL output do you have any chance to get this bug fixed. That means getting the OS to crash into KDL. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7508#comment:26> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
