Speaking of problems with 2.1.120, it crashed on me after almost two
days of uptime. It oopsed a whole bunch of times and then locked hard -
even sysrq provoked no response. Only part of the oops made it to the disk.
At the time, the system was trying to dial out to my ISP which was down.
It had been dialing/connecting/failing auth for quite a while.
This is on an IDE Cyrix 586/100, 64mb RAM, compiled with egcs 1.1.
Here is the oops and messages:
Sep 7 14:44:01 jackalz kernel: SERIAL: failed to unregister serial driver (-16)
Sep 7 14:44:01 jackalz kernel: SERIAL: failed to unregister callout driver (-16)
Sep 7 14:44:04 jackalz kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c482d4b0
Sep 7 14:44:04 jackalz kernel: current->tss.cr3 = 02788000, %cr3 = 02788000
Sep 7 14:44:04 jackalz kernel: *pde = 03ef2063
Sep 7 14:44:04 jackalz kernel: *pte = 00000000
Sep 7 14:44:04 jackalz kernel: Oops: 0000
Sep 7 14:44:04 jackalz kernel: CPU: 0
I can't find anything close to c482d4b0 in /proc/ksyms. If anyone needs more
info, feel free to ask.
