Hi everyone.
I've been trying to compile a new kernel (9pccpuf), but whenever it
gets to the "size 9pccpuf" point, I get the following error and a
system crash:
panic: executeio: page out I/O error
dumpstack disabled
cpu0: exiting
Admittedly, this system is not the most up to date (can't get dialup
working), so it could be a bug which is fixed now. However, with my
slow connection, I would rather not re-download the cd image. Has
anybody else seen this problem? It looks like it has something to do
with swap, but the swap had been working OK up until that point.
Thanks
You're running out of memory during the 8l command that
precedes the size command in the final linking recipe.
You might also be running out of swap. You could try running
stats to watch your memory and swap usage during the mk
and see if swap fills.
