Hello, remi75!

I tried it with 3 different kernels: the Debian Kernel, the Zen Kernel, and the Grml Kernel. The output of "sysctl -a | grep vm. | sort" is from the Debian Kernel. The Zen Kernel sets swappiness to 0, but the Debian sets it to 60, so... and the Grml is similar to the Debian one.

I'd like to try, but don't know how to use other compiler. I'm compiling from Debian sources, so it is just "debuild -k$GPGKEY", and it calls the compiler probably from debian/rules.

If it is a faulty driver, how could I debug it (without freezing again the system and killing it)?

I don't think the problem is in the sources. I have compiled the Debian kernel a few months ago and hadn't noticed anything wrong.

I suspect of some problem in my partitions? Though when I succeeded in compiling the kernel, I had no swap at all (already tried "swapoff -a", and it just started killing many procs...)

Thanks for your help!
