This occurred on three Dual Athlon motherboards Tyan Tiger 760MP, Tyan Tiger 760MPX, and Tyan Thunder 760MPX running Red Hat Linux 7.3 and 8.0. I compiled my own custom kernel and using ext3 in all cases. Downgrading to any 2.4.19 ctx seems to make it 100% stable again.
Things seem to be stable when load is low, however the kernel panics readily during high I/O activity. Load with PHP/MySQL transactions or building several source trees at the same time on these machines seems to trigger the kernel panic.
I'm driving down to one of the servers tomorrow in order to read the kernel panic from the console. Could someone provide exact instructions for me to collect better debug info?
get http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/ksymoops/v2.4/ read the manpage and use as much additional information as possible, also collect a complete lspci -vvv listing and the dmesg listing of your system boot ... best, Herbert
ksymoops says that it is for kernel OOPSes, how can this decode the panic message?
