Hi,

For two days, I am constantly observing this error with both 2.4.19-pre8aa2 and 2.4.9-pre8ac1 on the Athlon SMP with two 1900+ CPUs running at 1.6GHz with 2GB DDR registered DRAMs. ASUS A7M266-D with their newest official BIOS 1.005a.

$ latex fw.tex

As you can observe it here, it happens during LaTeX processing on a a big file.
I ran this process more than 20 times with 2.4.19-pre6aa1 all successfully. I believe that there is a problem somewhere with some memory management stuffs either in -pre7 or in -pre8.
Absolutely no message is recorded in the /var/log/message file. That is strange.

I have not checked the above kernels on 2.4.19-pre8aa2 and 2.4.19-pre8ac1 compiled for Pentium 4, yet. Before investing further, I think I need to report about it anyway.

Thank you.

Regards to all kernel developers.
