Krentel" Sender: owner-freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The following reply was made to PR i386/15074; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Mark W. Krentel" To: st@epcc.ed.ac.uk Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: i386/15074: Two different panics when running Linux binaries on Athlon Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 01:58:24 -0400 (EDT) Last year, you submitted Freebsd PR i386/15074 about a panic when running a Fortran benchmark from an ext2fs filesystem. I've also seen a panic from running Linux binaries from ext2fs, and I think they may be the same problem. Take a look at PR kern/19407 and see if anything looks similar. Bruce Evans found and fixed some buffer overflow problems in the ext2fs code, and that has fixed my panic. Assuming you haven't given up on Freebsd (and I hope you haven't), you might want to try updating to 4.1 and applying his patches. See if that makes any difference. --Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
