I'm having a problem with paging errors using 99.8. Specifics:
386SX@20MHz w/387
8MB ram
16 MB swap PARTITION
lots of disk space
Plain 0.99.8 w/scsi and 1542 board
Message:
Unable to handle kermel paging request at address C0000000 *
Oops: 0000:
EIP 0008:001607f4 *
EFLAGS 0010206
FS: 0017
base 00000000, limit: C0000000
Pid:7, process nr:4 *
8b 00 25 f0 00 00 00 8b 44 02 !
* addresses change each time
! I didn't think to check if this changes
The problem seems to occur when the system is in load (gcc + kermit + other)
The only big change between 0.99.7 and 0.99.8 is in mm/memory.c write_verify
(of course if you have any hope of solving this you already know what
changed. I looked but no clue)
This error _seems_ to be reproducable.
I will be away from the office for most of the week. News access but
no mail (sorry).
All help appreciated.
