Re: [HiPPIE-Users] Hippie 0.9.0 causes kernel fault

Hi Josh,

Very excited about this project and I'm happy that you can help track this
down. Here is the memory usage:

/var/root # uname -r
2.6.23.1

/var/root # free
              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:      2071284        78212      1993072            0        49152
 Swap:            0            0            0
Total:      2071284        78212      1993072

I've tried turning the big kernel lock on and off, and neither make any
difference. The preemptive model is set to 'desktop'. These errors (which
are always a little different each time) occur all the time as soon as
packets arrive with HIPPIE enabled. When there are a large number of inbound
packets, these error events will cause the box to stop responding until the
packet backlog has been processed. As soon as I shut off the HIPPIE
interface the errors stop. There are no user based process running.

I'll attach the kernel config and try a later version of the kernel.
