Yep, me again. I've been playing around with ac17 on my old 486 machine for a few days (it seems strange that the 486 works fine while the K6 doesn't, but I digress) and I noticed today something that made my hair stand on end:
Jun 26 16:17:27 debian kernel: VM: Bad swap entry 0033da00 Jun 26 16:17:27 debian kernel: Unused swap offset entry in swap_count 0033da00 Jun 26 16:17:27 debian kernel: Unused swap offset entry in swap_count 0033da00 Jun 26 16:38:16 debian -- MARK -- Jun 26 16:53:13 debian kernel: PPP BSD Compression module registered Jun 26 16:53:14 debian kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered Jun 26 16:53:24 debian kernel: VM: Bad swap entry 0033da00
Now I have been told by Rik Van Riel that this is a kernel bug - I initially figured it was a bad disk, thanks to him I can breathe now...
Anyway, at the time the kernel did these messages I was just stopping playing quake on my K6-III (486 handles packets to/from the modem) and was reloading the compression modules, changing the mtu of my modem's interface to 1500 from 576, and starting fetchmail. And about one minute later I decided to simply disconnect.
I can't seem to find a way to reproduce this problem all the time like I can with the freezing bug, but I will reply to this thread if I see it again and/or can repeatedly reproduce it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
