Hi all,
I have a misfortune of reporting yet another Oops in 2.4.1 (my previous
report got ignored). After running for 4 days I got many, many oopses.
They were trigerred by xscreensaver, and some other X-related apps.
After dopping to runlevel 3, the system seemed O.K. Nothing unusual in
process table, no zombies etc. I could restart the X server itself, bu any
attemp to start gdm would generate yet another Oops. Had to reboot.
Ideas/suggestions/Help appreciated
Arthur

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.

That makes it harder to say 'Use a 3.3.6 X server'. If you are using the
nvidia binary/obfuscated modules for their 3d and stuff try running without
them.

Well,
NVidia is only one of the few suspects I have to eliminate. I also used
OSS, vmware, and free s/wan (for IPSEC). So now I am in a process of
eliminating them one by one.
Also, last night Linus suggested that this could be a hardware problem. I
am not sure how to eliminate or confirm this. Recently I added some RAM
(256->384) and decided to get rid of swap. This seemed to have destabilized
the system, although nothing is obvious. I can try to stress the system by
copying 2 CDs to files simultaneously, while running kernel build in the
background and tar-gzipping /usr, all at once. The load goes through the
roof, but everything works. Then, few hours later with no load a simple
thing like xscreensaver or makewhathis.cron would oops for no apparent
reason.
Not sure what to make of this all. Any ideas?

Get a copy of memtest86, its a standalone memory tester.

Alan, Linus,
Thanks for your help. I ran memtest86 for 6 hrs. RAM looks
O.K.. I added swap back (just in case). Now I will be eliminating
suspicious kernel modules one by one.
Will post results in few days.
Cheers!

Alan,
Looks like you were 100% right about nvidia kernel module. After I
eliminated it and reverted to the driver coming with XFree-4.0.1, my
system seems stable again. It's been up for 7 days (with NVdriver from
nvidia I couldn't get past 72 hrs mark).
Thanks for your help!
