This has happened twice, now, though I don't believe its completely reproduceable. What happens is an Oops, which drops me into kdb. I've been in X both times, however, which makes kdb rather useless. I blindly type "go", and interrupts get reenabled, at least (I know because my mp3 stops looping and begins playing again). This almost must mean at least part of userspace survives. Probably only X dies, since VT switching and numlock-toggling doesn't work. I can Ctrl+SysRq S-U-B, though.
The thing I find most interesting about this is that only 4 lines of the oops gets into the log. 4 lines, both times. This time, those lines were:
printing eip: c0112e1f Oops: 0002 CPU: 0
This corresponds to schedule according to System.map (that's the nearest symbol without going over). Before I believe it was path_walk. If anyone's got an idea, it'd be helpful. Btw, this machine consistently passes memtest, most recently ran 2 passes of all tests with no errors found. -- -Steven Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two equals four. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
