Worth persuing a KDB: stack backtrace: ?

2008-10-11 Thread Tuc
Hi, I have a 5.5-STABLE laptop thats been having issues lately, mostly related to memory. I bought new chips, and I think I narrowed it down to one of the Dimm slots being bad. I did a memtest for 25 hours and it seemed stable. I started up and started downloading a backup of over 5K

Booting the machine in single-user mode and run fsck -y. I'm betting you'll find errors. If not, then it's probably a kernel bug -- see below, however. Ya lost the bet All filesystems were supposedly fine. Tuc
