From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030709 Description of problem: On a Dell Latitude 640 w/ Radeon 7500 (512M RAM) the kernel (boot and i686) panics while accessing high memory. During Install, the Kernel Panic happens immediatly after "running /sbin/loader". After install, irreproducible errors happen after boot with similar messages. Current workaround is to use a mem=480M paramenter at install and boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-1.1931.2.349.2.2.ent How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Linux 2. wait for panic :) Actual Results: "invalid kernel-mode pagefault 0! " Expected Results: no kernel panic? Additional info:
Created attachment 93415 [details] /var/log/messages today's /var/log/messages notice the problem doesn't occur when the system is started with mem=480M
just forgot: I did check for fauly memory with memtest86. No problems found.
we've had a problem with this for a long time somehow it doesn't happen with the installed kernel usually, is that the case for you ?
Florian, does this still happen?
Hello, Florian. Is there still a problem with a more recent RHEL 3 kernel (such as U1 -- 2.4.21-9.EL)? Thanks. -ernie

(In reply to comment #7) > Closing due to lack of response. Sorry. Somehow I didn't recieve the comments prior to the 'bug closed' message. The problem disappeared w/ more recent kernels. Cheers Florian
