Subject:   STABLE Kernel Crashes
Message-ID:  <199607100025.TAA21232@rdsw.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
The STABLE kernel version dated June 17 has been running fine. I compiled
a STABLE kernel about June 26 and it did a panic during the boot. I built
a CURRENT kernel on June 27 and it ran fine. I then built a new STABLE
kernel on June 28 an it did a panic during boot. I built another STABLE
kernel on July 1. After it booted, it corrupted the root partition, and
after trying to fsck the partition, it gave up and quit. I had to reload
the system from the 2.1.0 RELEASE and restore from tape. On July 9, I built
another STABLE kernel. When I booted it, numerous directories were either
deleted, converted to files, or lost the directory information (showed
in ls listing but not ls -l). They could not be deleted but could be
renamed. I was able to repair the damage with fsck and restore lost data
from tape.  Among the corrupted directories were /var/at, /var/backups,
/var/run,  /var/mail, /var/tmp, /var/spool/lock, /var/spool/output, /tmp,
and /etc/ppp. The June 17 STABLE kernel still ran fine. I turned off the
external cache for the CPU and tried booting the July 9 kernel. It ran 
fine with external cache turned off. I have a Sanyo 486-DX2-66 with
256K of cache memory and 16 megs of RAM. The July 9 kernel was built 
using the GENERIC configuration with a new name and the 386 and 586
options commented out. I have included the configuration file and the 
dmesg output after disabling the cache.
