Random segfaults with 2.6

From: Ernst Persson <hidden>

I'm running the latest linuxppc-2.5-benh and I'm getting a lot of random
segfaults, specially in development tools.
Emergeing in gentoo works half the time. Gcc and configure crashes, and this
never happens with 2.4.*.

Linux zapp.no-ip.com 2.6.0-test4 #5 lör sep 6 12:40:19 CEST 2003 ppc  740/750
GNU/Linux
Module                  Size  Used by
dmasound_pmac          85464  2 [unsafe]
dmasound_core          20460  3 dmasound_pmac
soundcore               9344  3 dmasound_core
i2c_core               25060  1 dmasound_pmac

Ext3 filesystem, atyfb.

I can't reproduce the crashes, they are really random.

Is CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled? I used to get random segfaults and other
weird behaviour after a couple of hours of uptime (running linuxppc-2.5
from August 26th), and it all seems to be gone with preempt disabled. :\

I thought dmasound wasn't working in 2.6? :)

Should have added that: yes it is.
And I know, I used to get crashes with it too (1-2 months ago), but then they
seemed to disappear and preempt was really stable. Maybe they are back? :-)
