Hello,
I'd like to report a kernel Oops I'm getting in Linux 2.2.14. It happens in the middle of reading all data from a big file (~500MB). A few seconds later there are a few more Oops messages, and then the system locks up solid (in swapper task - not syncing). The Oops below is the first one (and the only one that has been logged) - if you need the last one, please tell me and I'll try to write it down by hand.
The system is a P3-500 (single processor), with 256MB of RAM. I can reproduce it reliably (three times in a row), soon after the system is started.
I hope this will help to track down the bug. Please ask if you need more information. Please Cc: replies to me - unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to follow linux-kernel these days...
Regards, Marek
