If I however push it with two 'make -j12' compiles that normally works fine, it goes for about 10-15mins, and then OOM killer kills X, evo, galeon, etc. Must note that for most of the time free memory stays in the region of 450-650mb and then suddenly things goes for the worse. Also, after this there is only about 80MB used ... If I then start X, etc again, same thing after 10-15 mins - the box thus never died, just suddenly all free memory was taken. If you need any stats, etc, let me know. BTW, kernel is 2.5.74-bk7. Regards, -- Martin Schlemmer
