[opensuse] opensuse 10.1 runs out of memory, then kernel panic
Hello, I've installed opensuse 10.1 (amd64) on a new system and it hangs after a few hours of being up. The hardware is dual Opteron with 4 gigs of ram. After booting the system there are no applications running but my available memory (given by top) eventually goes from 4 gigs down to zero, giving this message on the console: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes...". I'm running kernel version 2.6.16.13-4-smp and have also tried 2.6.16-20-smpwith the same results. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? thanks, Kevin

i would appreciate some debugging: 1. "lsmod" output would be interesting 2. please run "while : ; do cat /proc/slabinfo >> /tmp/slabinfo ; sleep 10; done" while it runs out of memory. so we can see which part of the kernel allocates the memory. thanks in advance:) darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
