I guess 2.2.1 hates my system. After endless ahc problems, here is the latest (this might have shown up as an ahc problem?): Running 2.2.1-970415 and later, shortly after starting X11, while clicking the mouse on an icon in xfmail, xfm, or, sometimes, just because the system will crash, freeze, die mercilessly. No particular pattern :-( Well, the good news is that the good old 2.2-BETA_A does not suffer from these problems. the better news is that I managed to catch this panic while X11 was running: Fatal trap 12 - Page fault while in kernel mode. in virtual address 0xf71e0014. Tracing back shows that bash (?!) was the culprit, causing it after calling _Xsyscall -> _syscall -> _vm_open -> _spec_open. Things go south at _spec_open + 0x6e, complaining about cmpl $0,0(%eax). Now, I am a pretty good shell programmer, but never lerned how to panic a kernel with running a program on one :-) There is no explicit bash call on my part, to trigger the fault, but much of the X11 activity forks and exec's all over the place. But you know that already... Anyway, any help will be appreciated...! I must stabilize this kernel!!! Thanx, simon an ahc problem?): Running 2.2.1-970415 and later, shortly after starting X11, while clicking the mouse on an icon in xfmail, xfm, or, sometimes, just because the system will crash, freeze, die mercilessly. No particular patt
