Can you capture the full message (including the > register and stack information) and send it to me? I have attached the dump file. Mind you although I have checked the file carefully I had to type it all in, thus there could be one (or two) typo's. > > >My system is a RISC PC with 48MB RAM, 2 MB VRAM and has an StrongArm with the > >STM bug (this seemed to be important for netbsd-arm32, is this also important > >for linux?). > > Remind me which is the `STM' bug again? Up to a certain revision of the StrongArm (I think k) there was a bug regarding the STM opcode. In short: if you stored multiple registers with STM and you happened to go over a page boundery wich was not in memory, this would give page error. netbsd would then load the page from the swap into memory and the write could continue. However the STM opcode would not continue with the not saved registers but would start all over again, but did this to the wrong address.
