Does "latest kernel" mean v2.6.22.1, or does it have to be v2.6.23-rc1? I guess v2.6.22.1 would be fine as this is a VM problem, not a scheduling problem. the following script will gather all the above information for a 10 seconds interval: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/tools/cfs-debug-info.sh Ray, please run this script before the updatedb run, once during the updatedb run and once after the updatedb run, and send Nick the 3 files it creates.
