Yggdrasil ignoring us - "unable to handle kernel paging request" problem!

Post by Chris J. Rad » Thu, 05 Aug 1993 05:24:44



We have purchased the Yggdrasil CD-ROM version of Linux (0.99.7A)

and have been able to run it in CD-Dependent mode just fine.  

Now we have installed it on a different hard drive (ESDI, with

a caching controller) in the "Full binary install" (i.e. boot

and run entirely from HD).  It boots and begins to come up, but

partway through it stops with the following message:

        Unable to handle kernel paging request at address

        C00002e8

        Oops: 0002

        EIP: 008:0112690

        EEFLAGS: 00010206

        fs: 0017

        base: 00000000   limit: C0000000

        PID: 1   Process Nr: 1

        Trying to free kernel page-directory: Not good

Then it does a bit more HD activity and stops dead.  I have

spoken with someone else who is experiencing more or less

the same symptoms with the Yggdrasil version as well.  Any

help or suggestions would be appreciated.  (We *can* still

boot from the floppy/CD-ROM combination and manually mount

the hard drive, so I don't think there's a hardware problem).

 
 
 

1. RedHat7 "unable to handle kernel paging request" and other strange errors - RAM problem?

Hi,


Apollo Pro chipset (motherboard type unknown since I have no physical access
to the machine). SCSI subsystem is an Adaptec AIC 7892 (U2W-LVD?), NIC is a
LiteON LNE100TX.

Since installing the machine about 3 weeks ago I experienced regular errors
and lockups, including - but not limited to - the following:

* file names changing single characters (e.g. "libcrypt.so" was suddenly
named "libtrypt.so")
* "unable to handle kernel paging request" errors, each time from different
processed and virtual addresses
* no network transfer but machine still up, i.e. local console login
possible and all necessary processes running, NIC properly configured
* programs (both system programs and "homebrewn" ones) cause unexpected
"segmentation faults" (but work fine when started a couple of minutes later
with the same parameters/input files)

I suspect a problem with the system RAM (perhaps also chipset related)
and/or SCSI termination.

Any help would be very much appreciated!
