I had my 2.2-stable system (cvsup'ed July 9) go wonky this morning with something that was quite freaky: Jul 21 11:17:02 brain /kernel: vm_fault: pager input (probably hardware) error, PID 28251 failure Jul 21 11:17:33 brain last message repeated 33859 times Jul 21 11:18:42 brain last message repeated 85337 times Jul 21 11:19:13 brain last message repeated 37131 times Jul 21 11:19:39 brain last message repeated 31988 times Jul 21 11:20:09 brain last message repeated 36535 times Jul 21 11:20:14 brain last message repeated 6173 times That process was my window manager. By the time of the last entry above I had managed to switch to the real console and kill it. Then another process started complaining similarly. Finally I killed them all off and decided to reboot the system and give it a power cycle. It's been running fine since. Unfortunately I do not (yet) have ECC memory in this box, so perhaps it was a hardware failure, but I'm beginning to suspect that something nasty has been tickled in the kernel since the March 31 cvsup which I was running up until the day before yesterday. BTW, does anyone have a *bad* ECC DIMM? I'd love to do some testing.... -- Greg A.
