Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Ciprian Popovici (sfrowd) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Strange segfault with 0.65 Initial Comment: I use Blackbox 0.65 compiled with gcc 3.3 on a system equivalent to Red Hat 8.0 (or 9.0) -- I have updated by RPM to the latest packages. Blackbox has the win9x_buttons and flatborder patches applied. It has worked fine like this for a few months now. But yesterday I got three unexpected crashes for no apparent reason. Blackbox simply dies and dumps core at seemingly random moments. I managed to grab a backtrace from the core file, which I have attached. I can't reproduce the problem, it just happens. FWIW, my ~/.blackboxrc is chmod 400, so it doesn't get overwritten on exit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Ciprian Popovici (sfrowd) Date: 2003-09-03 11:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=667423 It seems that the crash has something to do with passing mem=nopentium to the kernel at boot time. I can't be 100% sure that is the cause, but I noticed the crash happens always when the machine was booted with mem=nopentium and never without. mem=nopentium helps me avoid some X freeze problems which otherwise occur due to the NVidia video card + AMD processor combination. I've only recently started using mem=nopentium, that would explain why the recent crashes. I've grabbed a couple more gdb backtraces but they all look different from each other. I'll attach them if needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=428680&aid=798544&group_id=40696 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
