Hi,

I got a strange crash, totally unpredictable, several times, while using
linux kernel 2.2.17 and 2.2.18.

kernel: CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 0000000000000004
kernel: Bank 1: b200000000000115<0>Kernel panic: CPU context corrupt

I checked on the linux kernel mailing list archives but found nothing
about it.
Here's my configuration:

Celeron 333 overclocked to 416 (5 x 83Mhz).
128 Megs of PC100 SDRAM
DC390 U2W SCSI adaptor
ATI RAGE XL AGP
ISA SB16
NE2000 PCI

The config file for 2.2.17 is there as attachement.

What is very strange is that it just worked very well on 2.2.16 (so for
the moment I stick to it).

If you happened to have had the same problem or know an explanation,
please contact me.

Thanks.

You cannot debug syscalls in the way you have stated. Although the
kernel image may have debug symbols the actual debug is manipulated
though the ptrace syscall. 

ioctl is a syscall that acts on an open file descriptor. glibc sits
on top of the kernel, the kernel deals with most driver issues.

I agree that this most likely locks up the hardware.

I have been trying to use a manual KVM switch that was supposedly designed
for PS2 mouse and kybd.  As you might expect,  it locks up the the PC that
has been unselected.  Generally, the keyboard and dislpay still works, but
the mouse is always locked up.  The odd thing is that one of the PC's on the
KVM is using a PS2 to Serial adaptor, and it locks up as often as the PC's
witch are using the PS2 port.

It seems to me we should be able to emulate the mouse presence at the PC by
adding a resistor or two.  If I could get my hands on a schematic of the PS2
ports,  it would help.   Certainly someone has circumvented this problem and
could save us some strokes.
