Kernel paging Problem

Kernel paging Problem

Post by Wayne Swe » Tue, 04 Jul 1995 04:00:00



I have been running Linux for a month or so and for some reason
LILO does not complete the bootup.
It completes the partition check and then states
  "Unable to handle kernel paging request" and the last
comment is
   "Trying to free kernel page-directory: not good"

Any ideas? The boot floppy does the same thing. BTW, I get
the above comments occur not in bootup, but when I boot from the
Setup floppy that the InfoMagic's distribution has you make.
The bootup simply goes from the partition check (after a 20 sec
pause) to a screen full of multi-colored small retangles, and
starts the re-boot process.
Would using the boot/root discs and re-making the swap partition
again do anything? Is this related to the swapping.. seems like
it should. I don't want to do anything that will force
installing Linux, unless there is no way around it. I have X
setup, plus alot of other files that I would not like to
lose.

Hi,

        We have matrox meteor framegrabber in my Linux box.  Sometimes, we get
the following message saying that the kernel can't handle a paging request
when we access the meteor,

maemb1:/home/users/wkfung>Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual

        What does the above indicate?  After this message popup, the program
seems to run fine.  How to fix the missing paging request?
