Hi Greg,
From: Greg KH [mailto:gregkh@suse.de]
I am deploying 2.6.34.8-15 on many machines successfully.
Is this the kernel from openSUSE 11.3?
Yes, it is from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.3/openSUSE_11....
With about 10 HP Workstations I regularily get the
I also experience severe data loss whenever such an error occurs.
Perhaps you have a failing drive?
Yes, this was also my first idea but I can observe the problem (about once a day) distributed over nearly all 10 machines. This fact makes me not believe in a failing drive. On the other hand all these machines ran OpenSUSE 10.2 before without such a problem.
Typically I cannot issue "make config" in the kernel sources anymore on an affected system due to binary garbage in C-Sources.
What do you mean by this?
Whenever the above problem is visible in the kernel log I notice the following strange thing: rt-z9856:/usr/src/linux # file init/* init/calibrate.c: ASCII C program text init/do_mounts.c: ASCII C program text init/do_mounts.h: ASCII C program text init/do_mounts_initrd.c: ASCII C program text init/do_mounts_md.c: ASCII C program text init/do_mounts_rd.c: ASCII C program text init/initramfs.c: ASCII C program text init/Kconfig: ASCII English text init/main.c: ASCII C program text init/Makefile: ASCII English text init/noinitramfs.c: ASCII C program text init/version.c: ASCII C program text /proc/config.gz is fine "make cloneconfig" works if the above error is not in the logs but it does not work otherwise. In the later case files like init/Kconfig contain binary garbage. I must admit that I have no clue why those files get corrupted and how this is related to the observed kernel log entries.
