Re: [gentoo-hardened] kernel upgrade problems: bad page state

[Brian Kroth]

I have no problems with 2.6.20-r10. I ran it for 4 hours last night and some weeks before this. 2.6.20-r6 before that, again no problems. 2.6.22-r8 and 2.6.23 both die as soon as cactid or nagios start running. I really don't think this is bad ram anymore. I'll see if I can get an exact test for others to try. Any other kernel debug tweaks I should try?

Thanks for all your help,
Brian

I just found out I still have bad pages:

Bad page state in process 'mksquashfs'
page:c1b1fdc0 flags:0x80000000 mapping:00000001 mapcount:0 count:0
Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed

Either I made an error in passing the broken page, or the memory manager
is broken (sw)
I have suspend2-kernel-2.6.23.
Tuxonice-3.0-r1 patch

Though this specific version is not part of portage, I doubt it would
help to downgrade, since the errors occured there two. Besides, these
errors occur ever since I have 2GB of RAM.
