Fournier" To: stable@freebsd.org Subject: 9 makes + 1 caused panic... Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi... Just want to verify that this to is a hardware problem vs a software one. I just started up 9 make processes in /usr/src/lib, and had just started up a 10th on /usr/src/gnu/lib when it panic'd. I'm using -O2 -m486 -pipe, since someone mentioned that -pipe is a *really* good way to brutalize the system... The panic: Fatal Trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x700c fault code = supervisor write, protection violation instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf0106ae1 current process = 4244 (sh) interrupt mask = kernel: type 12 trap, code=0 Stopped at _closef+0x85: decw 0xc(%esi) And "trace" shows: closef+0x85 close+0x83 syscall Xsyscall --- syscall 6, eip = 0x42e45, ebp = 0xefbfdcfc --- Now, the machine has 16Meg of RAM and was, the last time I checked for it panic'd, using around 25% of the swap (60Meg/218Meg) If this looks like a hardware issue again, no probs, I'll keep beating that horse, but this one I haven't seen before, so figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. And, of course, no core dump :( Marc G. Fournier scrappy@ki.net Systems Administrator @ ki.net scrappy@freebsd.org
