Kernel gurus:
I am having trouble with my alpha clone running RHL 5.0 / 2.0.32 patched with alpha-patch-2.0.32-01.
If I configure the kernel with ipx, I get unaligned traps at various addresses depending on what else I put into the kernel.
Aside from the constant messages about unaligned traps to the console, the alpha appears to be stable.
With the current build, the addresses are fffffc0000386978 and fffffc0000386940.
Here is the output from nm vmlinux | sort around the affected addresses.
fffffc0000386748 t ipx_accept fffffc0000386750 t ipx_accept..ng fffffc0000386790 t ipx_getname fffffc0000386798 t ipx_getname..ng fffffc0000386908 T ipx_rcv fffffc0000386910 t ipx_rcv..ng fffffc0000386a80 t ipx_sendmsg fffffc0000386a88 t ipx_sendmsg..ng fffffc0000386c58 t ipx_recvmsg fffffc0000386c60 t ipx_recvmsg..ng fffffc0000386ed0 t ipx_shutdown fffffc0000386ed0 t ipx_shutdown..ng
This looks to me like ipx is the culprit, so I am now rebuilding the kernel without ipx support. Is this the right way to find the culprit? Is there anything I can do to fix the problem? It would definitely be useful to have ipx support on this machine, but I can live without it if I must.
