Linux 2.4.21-pre3-ac3 oops with himem
Quoted 4 lines
I received the following oops while running the Cerberus stress test on 2.4.21-pre3-ac3. The hardware is an ASUS A7N8X single AMD Athlon XP motherboard with the Nvidia nforce2 chipset. The oops occurs as soon as the system has used all the RAM and tries to use swap. The total amount of memory on the machine is 1GB, and himem is enabled. If I turn off himem support the kernel starts to use swap without oopsing. I can provide my kernel .config or more hardware details if that would be useful.
Sorry for a little misinformation. I seem to get the oops with himem disabled as well. I must have just been lucky the first time.
