Dear developers,
I was running F18 on an old notebook with 512 MB memory (not
extendable). Now, I upgraded this box to F19 with yum. The upgrade was
done, but now, the box is no more operable because it is continuously
swapping.
Question: which minimal memory size is recommended for F19?
We don't know yet, as f19 hasn't been released. ;)
There's still debugging options enabled on the kernel, but I wouldn't
think that would cause 'continuously swapping'. Can you use top/ps/etc
to identify which thing is using up memory?
You could also try booting with 'slub_debug=-' or using a rawhide no
debug kernel:
