[Fwd: Bug in Kernel 2.4.20-8]
...Hello, here is the promised attachment :-(
Hello,
I am using Kernel 2.4.20. I admit, it is the kernel of RedHat 9. I hope this is not, because RedHat did so much changes to the Kernel
I was just typing a mail, when the caps lock light and the scroll lock light went on. Nothing happend anymore. No mouse, no keyboard.
I resetted the computer.
After that, I found the attached output in the /var/log/messages. I am running cyurs-imapd, I am not sure, if it is due to cyrus.
If the buffer.c might have something to do with the filesystem:
I am using the ext3 filesystem, I have ide and scsi-drives in my system. Here is an extract of lsmod:
ext3 69984 4 jbd 51220 4 [ext3] sym53c8xx 67376 1 sd_mod 13324 2 scsi_mod 106168 2 [sym53c8xx sd_mod]
If you need any furhter information I will provide it.
Regards
Corneius

Always hard to tell. It is worth filing Red Hat kernel bugs in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla and picking up current errata kernels if there are newer ones

This is a panic - the machine got itself into a state that could not continue. The flashing lights are giving data in morse (useful for those truely desperate debugging situations only 8))

After having watched some other problems, I guess it is due to a bad memory module. (Can this be?) I removed this module and since then, I had no proplems anymore.

You might want to try a memory tester. I recommend either memtst86,
or ctcs's memtst.
