pre-2.0.32-1 and aic7xxx?

Post by bill davids » Sat, 15 Nov 1997 04:00:00



Based on one quick test, the 2.0.32-1 release doesn't compile
properly. If you make it a module it's fine, but as a permanent part
of the kernel I'm getting compile errors.

Reload 2.0.30 from the tar.gz and applied the 31 and pre-32 patches
again just to be sure I was using clean source. On two system I got
the same behaviour, so if it's something I'm doing it's consistent.

Just a heads-up, I know it's pre and all.

1. pre-patch-2.0.32-1 and freelist problem

I have exprienced som problem with my pre-32-1 system.
When I got home from work today I was unable to logon
to my machine so I did a reboot.

I had left the machine on since yesterday evening doing nothing but running
X with "top" in one window and "procinfo -f" in another.

last shows me being logged off at 16:04 today:

me       tty1                          Mon Nov 10 23:37 - 16:04  (16:26)

I examined the /var/log/messages and discovered this:

Nov 10 23:40:32 muffins su:  on /dev/ttyp0
Nov 11 16:04:28 muffins kernel: Problem: block on freelist at 00001909 isn't free.
Nov 11 16:04:29 muffins last message repeated 1274 times

<lines repeated several hundred times>

(This is about my trying to logon but is forced to reboot.)

Nov 11 17:46:57 muffins kernel: Problem: block on freelist at 00001909 isn't free.
Nov 11 17:46:57 muffins last message repeated 74 times
Nov 11 17:50:28 muffins syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
Nov 11 17:50:29 muffins kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started.

The /var/log/maillog shows this:

Nov 11 17:44:33 muffins sendmail[149]: runqueue: Skipping queue run -- fork() failed: Out of memory
Nov 11 17:45:43 muffins sendmail[149]: runqueue: Skipping queue run -- fork() failed: Out of memory
Nov 11 17:46:53 muffins sendmail[149]: runqueue: Skipping queue run -- fork() failed: Out of memory

My system is a clean 2.0.31 with the pre-2.0.32-1 patch and the cyrix-support-2
patch configured as follows:

CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86=y
CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_NOLOCK=y
CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_WTALLOC=y
CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_BTB=y
# CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_BTB_RISKY is not set
# CONFIG_CYRIX_6X86_VSPM is not set

I don't know if the info above is enough for fault tracing but I'll
keep my system up and running 24h/day for the next couple of days to
see if the problem can be repeated.
