by I'v been running fine for quite a while now, and figured its time to
update my kernel, and some of the software. I downloaded 2.4.20,
configured according to my previous kernel build on 2.2.16, compiled and
installed. However, after about 1 min, I get a kernel panic(unable to
handle kernel paging request at virtual addres ....), usually kswapd,
sometimes machine dies right away, other times.. It dies a few seconds
later.
No single command seems to initiate the panic....
I read through other posts, but couldn't find anything relevant. I
reconfigured kernel and recompiled several times with different configs,
but each time, I still get the same response. Hoping anyone can help
out here. The only relevent topic I found about this problem is where
one user was getting this on 2.4.20, and reverted back to 2.4.18, I
tried 2.4.18 also with several configs...
Thanks for any help..
Here are some of the oops messages,
