| |
Hi Alan,
When I do "swapoff -a" I still see the kernel oops that began with -pre4-ac7 and has propagated to every 'ac' kernel since then.
It's a "null-pointer dereference" oops which does not crash the system -- I still don't understand how that is possible.
Am I really the only person having this problem? The oops is 100% reproducible so it's hard to believe no one else is seeing it. It happens on all three of the machines I try it on, so it doesn't seem to be hardware-specific.
Plain 2.4.21-pre5 does NOT show this problem, so it seems to be a patch that was specifically introduced in -pre4-ac7 and I don't know enough to narrow it any further than that. I'm not an accomplished kernel debugger so I can't offer much more info than that, but I'd like to help if you can give me some hints what kind of information you might need to find the problem.
