[opensuse] Irregularly but recurring kernel warnings with different call traces (12.1 64bit)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, since a few weeks I'm constantly but irregularly getting annoying and daunting kernel warnings. The causing programs are changing but "swapper", "kwin", "thunderbird-bin" and "kworker" are the usual guys. One of these warnings (the "swapper"-kind) can be found at the very end of this email (copied from /var/log/messages). I'm running openSUSE 12.1 64bit on a Lenovo Thinkpad R61 with Kernel 3.1.9. I already tried the 3.1.10 kernel but got the same warnings. First I thought it's due to failing memory and did several memchecks of both RAM modules separately and combined. Without any hints on errors. The S.M.A.R.T. values of the HDD seem ok as well (see smartctl output further down). As I said before, the warnings occur irregularly but I could figure out some kind of pattern: - the first warnings occur usually after a couple of hours when connected to AC and within a few minutes when on batteries - if the first warning occurred, I'll get subsequent ones every 10-90 seconds (each and every by another program from the list above) - rebooting the system helps most of the time, though sometimes I'm not able to shutdown the machine at all. It just freezes when hitting "Menu->Quit->Shutdown". - the more warnings I got (without rebooting), the harder it get's for any program (even not mentioned in the above list) or services (e.g. no any more WiFi) to work. I'm happy for any hints or suggestions. Cheers, Torbjörn - ---> $: uname -a Linux sattelite.site 3.1.9-1.4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 27 08:55:10 UTC 2012 (efb5ff4) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux <--- - ---> $: smartctl -A /dev/sda smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [x86_64-linux-3.1.9-1.4-desktop] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-11 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 16 Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 200 200 051 Pre-fail Always - 50 3 Spin_Up_Time 0x0003 187 184 021 Pre-fail Always - 1608 4 Start_Stop_Count 0x0032 097 097 000 Old_age Always - 3048 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 200 200 140 Pre-fail Always - 0 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x000f 100 253 051 Pre-fail Always - 0 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 076 076 000 Old_age Always - 18237 10 Spin_Retry_Count 0x0013 100 100 051 Pre-fail Always - 0 11 Calibration_Retry_Count 0x0012 100 100 051 Old_age Always - 0 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 098 098 000 Old_age Always - 2591 192 Power-Off_Retract_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 140 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 078 078 000 Old_age Always - 368343 194 Temperature_Celsius 0x0022 111 095 000 Old_age Always - 36 196 Reallocated_Event_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 100 253 000 Old_age Offline - 0 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x003e 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x0009 200 200 051 Pre-fail Offline - 0 <--- - --->
