Hia, I have been having a few odd stability problems with one of my gentoo machines. It's a dual PIII500 with 768MB of ram running two SCSI drives in a software RAID 1 array. It had crashed a few times so I used the NMI Watchdog to try and figure out what was going on. Anyhow it's crashed again, this time I got to see the watchdog output....
Bank 3: b20000000002010a Kernel Panic: CPU Context Corrupt In Idle Task - Not Syncing I've found parts of the error on google... references to various things. The one almost exact match I got was here: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0201.3/0382.html Sometimes the quoted problem is memory, or clock speed. However before I built this instance of Gentoo on there it was running as a Gentoo test machine for quite a while. During that time I ran memcheck and cpu_burn for days. No probelms found and no crashes. Can anyone give me any background on this? Or ideas? Relevent URLs? I'm starting to shoot in the dark here ;) Many thanks.....
