Thanks for typing in the whole mess. ... > IAOQ[0]: alloc_slabmgmt+0x30/0x6c > IAOQ[1]: alloc_slabmgmt+0x30/0x6c > RP(r2): cache_grow+0x4d/0x1ac This looks like a bug that was recently fixed: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-July/035965.html > What should I do? Two things. First, run "reportbug kernel-image-2.6.10-1-32". Include a link to your own email: http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/2005/08/msg00011.html and the patches to fix this problem are here: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-July/035965.html I went trolling through parisc-linux-cvs for additional fixes: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/ Additional bug fixes debian could pick up are listed below. I don't know if debian wants them in the same bug report or seperate ones...but here is the list: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-June/035625.html Fix USB keyboard support for parisc/mips http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-June/035626.html Fix USB Storage (improves error recovery/retry) http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-June/035634.html enforce insn ordering in flush cache sequence. http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-June/035905.html fix audio (ad1889) on C3000/J5000 and related workstations (best to grab ad1889.[ch] from cvs.parisc-linux.org linux-2.6) http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-August/036026.html http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-August/036028.html fix 32-bit compat support for signals on 64-bit kernels. http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux-cvs/2005-August/036046.html fixes misc panics due to FP reg corruption Secondly, you can try a bleeding edge kernel from here: http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/download/linux-2.6/ I've been running the latest kernel (2.6.13-rc3-pa1) and it seems to be holding up fairly well on my a500 and the little bit that I've used it on C3000. However, this is an experimental kernel and time will tell if it has other issues. The general steps you need to do are: wget http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/download/linux-2.6/autobuild/32/palinux-32-2.6.13-rc3-pa1_0-2_all.deb dpkg -i palinux-32-2.6.13-rc3-pa1_0-2_all.deb reboot During boot up, interrupt the boot process when prompted by firmware. Then "boot" command and say "Y" to interact with the boot loader (palo). Then enter "vmlinux-32-2.6.13-rc3-pa1" for parameter 0 instead of "vmlinux". Then "b" to boot that kernel. I probably have some details wrong. But it should be close enough that you can recognize the details I have wrong. hth, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
