hi

i coulden't get it done - so i've let somebody reinstall the server with 
opensuse. it's not the 
distribution of choice, but as i couldent figure it out myself, i had to move 
on....

sorry that i can't be of any help - i tried everything that came to my
mind - but that wasen't enough. :)

kindest regards,

Thomas Gresch

Betreff: [Bug 261512] Re: Random segmentation faults Ubuntu Server 8.04.1

I seem to be getting more or less the same thing. I'm running Intrepid
on a 2.6.27 kernel. I know it's not a memory issue, as I've run a full
memtest86+ and smartctl health check on my hard drive. I attach
/var/log/dmesg.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-19-xen

Hi

I'm running ubuntu 8.04.1 Server with xen-patches on a Dual-Xeon Box with 32GB 
of RAM (amd64 platform). I'm running multiple xen domU's on the machine and for 
starters, all looked fine. At a certain point in running the server I got 
segementation faults from 
simple applications in the dom0. For example, an apt-get, vi, munin or any 
other program starts to segfault. As this behavior looked to me like a RAM 
problem (hardware-side), I switched the whole server to a new hardware - but I 
ran into exactly the same errors on the new iron. 

The errors are not reproducable by a 100% chance. Only if an app starts
to segfault, it will remain segfaulting till I reboot the server.

I had the same trouble running Debian 4.0 with linux-2.6.18-6-xen (also
amd64). If I would set 4 domU's to autoload on system boot, I would have
Segmentation faults too. If I would load the domU's by hand, the
Segmentation faults would come later. On the Ubuntu, it the problem
seams to appear later, only if the Memory of the dom0 comes into the <
8GB RAM Region.

I'm not sure if this bug is related to xen or if it has to do with the
Motherbard. But if it has to do with hardware, it's not the specific
hardware - but then it must be the series.

The Motheboard is a Supermicro Mainboard X7DBE and the only error I see
in the logs that does look suspicious is:

 i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: Bus collision! SMBus may be locked until next
hard reset. (sorry!)

but it seems, like it has nothing to do with my problem.

Any help is highly apprectiated.
