Oopses with 2.4.4

2001-05-30 Thread Roland Kuhn
Hi folks! All of a sudden I experienced at least two Oopses looking like the attached one, which is from process X (the other was bash, but the message had nearly scrolled away). Since I can't find this exact code sequence in arch/i386/entry.S (it appeared exactly the same in the bash Oops) I am

[newbie] NFS client: port-unreachable

2001-06-01 Thread Roland Kuhn

2.4.4 Oops in ext2 and strange /proc/ksyms

2001-06-13 Thread Roland Kuhn
Hi folks! After seeing the Oops below (and rebooting), I looked into /proc/ksyms (because ksymoops complained about mismatches), and I could not find system_call, do_page_fault, etc. Shouldn't they be there? When doing ksymoops with /proc/ksyms I found recursive calling of do_brk, which for sure
