Hi, I a new to this list and to Debian. I have a 2.0.0 kernel and debian 1.2 Yesterday I updated some packages from the unstable tree. The packages were base-passwd bsdutils debianutils dpkg e2fsprogs fileutils and findutils. Today I have noticed by runing pstree that kerneld spawns new kernelds at very short intervals . More specifically kerneld spawns another kerneld which in its turn spawns yet another or might spawn a sh process Then very quickly the child processes disappear. This happens at very short intervls ( seconds) Additionally there is some minor hard disk activity ( probably ) unrelated with the fact that I am runing some backgroung batch jobs. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or is it a bug or is it because i haven't upgraded some other package ?? At the moment no other problems are caused but I am abit worried. Thanks for any help George
