X Windows Performance with DOC 2000

[David Cooper]

I tried using SysRq-P (after attempting a "mount" of the DoC once X is
running from the IDE) and it shows me the registers and so forth but I am
yet to decipher this into which instructions are causing the problem (I need
to work on it further).

In the meantime, I tried using the latest M-Systems driver just for fun.
This does allow X to run from the DoC.  Looks like there is some conflict
(for me anyway) between X and the MTD driver.

I'll keep proding away.

Cheers,

David Cooper

OK, here we can find some clues. _What_ is it doing? Use SysRq-P a few
times to see where it's looping, look it up in your kernel image. If you
compile with '-g' you can get gdb to tell you the precise line.
