FWIW, my 4.3-RC #1 machine has been panic'ing with the same message. It's happened twice now. I'm currently not saving cores, but will configure my machine to do so. I noticed yesterday before it happened that top was reporting nearly 100 MB free memory, but also that I had about 50MB of swap being used. I thought that was a little odd, but don't know enough about how things work to know if that is normal or not. I just had never noticed it before. -matthew I think I heard Kris Kennaway say: > >--GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii >Content-Disposition: inline >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > >On Thu, Apr 26, 2001 at 11:58:54AM +0000, Jaime Kikpole wrote: >> Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org> said: >> > On Wed, Apr 25, 2001 at 09:42:45PM -0400, Jaime Kikpole wrote: >> > > makeoptions DEBUG=3D-g #Build kernel with gdb(1) debug > symbols >> >=20 >> > The debugging stuff is all stripped out when the kernel is installed >> > into /, however it remains in the kernel.debug file in your kernel >> > build directory: if you haven't rebuilt your kernel since, you can use >> > this kernel with gdb and the vmcore image (it must be the same one as >> > the kernel which panicked and dumped the vmcore, otherwise it won't >> > work properly). >>=20 >> So I'll need to reboot to the kernel.debug kernel, wait for the next=20 >> panic, and then I'll have the details in gdb.
