--- Comment #3 from Andrew Morton <[email protected]> 2009-08-04 17:05:17 --- OK, thanks. Pause the video at 0:30 and one sees an oops in ext3_handle_error().

I'll reassign the report.

I expect 2.6.30 will do the same thing :(

--- Comment #5 from Jan Kara <[email protected]> 2009-08-04 20:17:05 --- Well, the machine obviously has some serious problem. Just before the oops, there's a message "bad entry in directory #565751: rec_len is smaller than minimal" and then dump showing all entries are zero. This is quite early during boot (udev has just started, we loaded keyboard maps and then oopsed). Given this is some live DVD I believe some memory corruption is happening. The oops is probably on dereferencing EXT3_SB(sb)->s_es which again shouldn't pose a problem.

I've read the details you've posted to the forum referenced above and you write there about a memory conflict of your Nvidia graphics card and "lots of memory errors during the boot". So probably that should be resolved first. Sadly I cannot see the relevant message in the recorded video to judge who should have a look into this. So first, try booting with nosplash,vga=normal boot options and record that boot on your camera. Hopefully that will contain all the relevant error messages and we can then investigate further.

--- Comment #7 from Jan Kara <[email protected]> 2009-08-05 17:06:45 --- Hmm, I've looked at those videos. The first just confirms its some really lowlevel problem - we oopsed quite early while trying to get a free page. I didn't find any suspicious message in the second one... There's just something about "stolen memory". Probably someone with lowlevel HW/BIOS knowledge should look into this memory corruption. It's definitely not fs related... Andrew, could you please reassign? I don't seem to have enough rights.

--- Comment #8 from Andrew Morton <[email protected]> 2009-08-06 23:25:35 --- I don't know where to reassign it, really. Where's the bug?

A can randomly punt it in the x86_64 direction, but I suspect the hardware is broken.

Does _any_ version of the linux kernel run properly on that particular machine?
