Hi!
At first: I'm not sure if I sent it to the right person. Second: forgive me my english.
As you may already guessed reading the topic, I encountered probles running kernels 2.2.13, 2.2.14 and 2.2.15-pre14. It seems, that 2.2.x have probles with my hardware. The *important* thing is, that everything runs *fine*, when using 2.3.33.
Brief info about my machine: Intel Pentium 100, Intel Zappa (Advanced ZP) motherboard, 80MB EDO RAM, S3Trio64 2MB graphics card, Voodoo2 12MB, Sound Blaster 16 & GUS sound cards, 17GB Seagate on IDE0-master, 1GB Seagate on IDE0-slave, LG40X CDROM driver on IDE1-master, Lucent WinModem (uses Lucent driver for 2.2.12-20 kernel, but the driver has nothing to do with crashes for sure). No other OS (only Slackware Linux 7.0).
Symptoms: Kernel crashes in a random way usually 2-3 times a day, assuming computer running for 8-10 hours. It happens when I do "something", eg. switch consoles, exit an application etc. The screen output is *always* the same and it says: -------------------- Code: <1>Unable to handle kernel Null pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 current->tss.cr3=00101000, %cr3=00101000 *pde=00000000 Oops: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 010:[<c0107e3d>] EFLAGS: 00010046
Process swapper (pid: 0, process nr: 0, stackpage=c01cd000) Aiee, killing interrupt handler Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task! In swapper task - not syncing -------------------- (I know the numbers say nothing to you without the .map file - I just want to give you the idea. I can provide you with more detailed info, if desired).
That's it. As I mentioned above, I'm currently using 2.3.33 and encountered no problems. Anyway, I'd like the problem to be fixed, because some software incompatibility with 2.3.33 (svgalib & modem's driver which is binary-only). I don't want to play with 2.2.14 for now, as it is a bit risky, because filesystems are not cleanly unmounted.
