SMP aic7xxx 2.4.3 boot panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler

Post by Vivek Dasmohapatr » Wed, 04 Apr 2001 21:30:07



Has anyone else had this or a similar problem? I tried to upgrade to 2.4.3
from 2.2.18 recently, but I invariably got a kernel panic on boot - I ran
the oops through ksymoops, and it seemed to indicate that the problem
occurred while in the aic7xxx driver [although I may, of course, be
misinterpreting the ouput hideously]

I'm, going to try the old aic7xxx driver tonight, to see if that works any
better.

[I posted the oops a couple of days ago, and I don't want to spam the
 list with it again, but if anyome is interested in the output, I'd be
 happy to send it, pluys any extra details required... ]

1. aiee, killed interrupt handler - kernel panic

I was trying out the IP_Masquerade in Linux and found this nifty "feature" that
locked up the system and dumped this cute little message on my screen...

kernel panic, trying to free swapper memory space
In swapper task - not syncing
(sorry if the format is messed up: if only there were a print-screen that is as
stable as the VC code seems to be)

   I'm still trying to figure out if the kernel felt pain when that happened-
it certainly screamed Aiee and then refused to do anything except let me look
at all the other VC's.  I can also fairly well re-produce this: all I have to
do is ftp from another host on my net using the new ip_masquerade in the 1.3.9
kernel.  I can get connect to a host (say, tsx-11) but when I actually try to
'get' something my 'router' dies this horrid death.
  I understand there are people who can actually read that register dump and
glean something usefull - is there anyone willing to translate for me?
  also: I have heard rumor of a kernel mailing-list... where is it?  ,
