regular crashing on 9.1
My system seems to have become really unstable lately with applications crashing with sigsev or the whole system freezing (even at runlevel 3 in bash) I'm running: Linux espresso 2.6.5-7.111-default #1 Wed Oct 13 15:45:13 UTC 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I have seen errors like the one below on the console quite a few time recently. bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'artsd', page 0000010001b6f1b8) flags:0x20100014 mapping:000001003df96630 mapped:0 count:0 private:0x00000000 Backtrace: Call Trace:<ffffffff80159788>{bad_page+120} <ffffffff80159b2f>{free_hot_cold_page+127} <ffffffff801634f8>{unmap_page_range+712} <ffffffff801636f0>{unmap_vmas+320} <ffffffff8016622a>{exit_mmap+106} <ffffffff80133964>{mmput+68} <ffffffff801379d1>{do_exit+497} <ffffffff801382f9>{do_group_exit+169} <ffffffff801103a4>{system_call+124} Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed heres a few more examples: Oct 25 12:23:58 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'yast2', page 0000010001d6ab78) Oct 25 12:24:56 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'sh', page 0000010001ceeaf8) Oct 25 15:34:52 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'firefox-bin', page 00000100010cc538) Oct 25 15:34:53 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'X', page 0000010001d0b8f8) Oct 29 21:41:24 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'online_update', page 000001000184f158) Oct 31 13:32:47 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'K03cron', page 0000010001d4f7b8) Oct 31 13:53:54 espresso kernel: Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page (in process 'artsd', page 0000010001b6f1b8) Does this look like a hardware problem or is it something I've broken? I should be getting 9.2 in a few days :) so do I just give up on this install or does it look fixable. I've not seen the same issues on the 32bit install on the same box but then I don't use it much. Any ideas? Ed
Does this look like a hardware problem or is it something I've broken?
Most likely a hardware problem. In theory it could be a bad driver that corrupts memory, but if it worked fine before that's unlikely. You could test with memtest86 at least. -Andi

This past week I've been messing around with installs on a gigabyte k8ns pro. I've installed 32 bit 9.1 and 64 bit 9.1. Both have given me fits with random lockups. These lockups happened during boot, starting KDE, doing YOU updates... seemingly randon hangs and locks. Actually, the installs went fine. I didn't notice problems until after the first YOU update (on both 32 and 64 and both included kernel updates). I was about ready to take that box and toss it out the one of the windows (that's the only 'windows' I want this box to see). I decided to try a bios upgrade before pulling the plug. It's only been a few hours, but so far so good. Longest time without a hang since I installed the board. Thinking back, I had to do a bios upgrade on my son's machine (a cheap shuttle board) before I could get 91 to install on his box. Might be worth a shot. Doug
