I got the first oops I've had in years today! I'm using 2.0.24 on a Micron PPro 200 system with 64Mb RAM, BusLogic SCSI, WD8013 ethernet. The error happens when doing a lot of NFS work. I was able to reproduce the problem three times by doing three "cp -a" commands at a time from a machine that had the / directory of the Micron mounted. If I just did one or two "cp -a" commands, there was no problem. When I strted up the third, I get these error messages and the "rpc.nfsd" command dies. If I start rpc.nfsd up again it will do a bit more work and die again. I keep doing this until one of the "cp -a" commands is done and then no more errors!
The death shown is in ei_start_xmit+290 which seems an odd place. Here is the dissassem output:
0x19fb97 <ei_start_xmit+287>: movl %esi,%edx 0x19fb99 <ei_start_xmit+289>: outb %al,(%dx) 0x19fb9a <ei_start_xmit+290>: outb %al,$0x80 0x19fb9c <ei_start_xmit+292>: movb 0x1a(%ebp),%al 0x19fb9f <ei_start_xmit+295>: testb %al,%al
I'm not sure what else to check! I've never had this problem before but perhaps I haven't been hitting the NFS stuff so hard before... Any idea what it could be?
Was this an OOPS or a "reserved" trap? You didn't include that part of the kernel trap report. It sure looks like the P6 Local APIC Spurious Interrupt Bug for which I recently posted a new workaround patch. I have a collection of these from a few months ago when I had EPI pointing to precisely the same OUTB instruction.
