From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: Repeated kernel oops'es The machine is a 1 year old dell inspiron, that been running rock-solid for over a year with redhat-7.3, redhat-9.0 (with precompiled, and my own kernels) and WIN32. I have run memtest86 for >24 hours, it's not getting too hot (max 65 deg. cel.), and it's not overclocked. Installed fedora-core on dec. 1, 2003, and kernel oops'ing began. It seems to be random when oops'ing occur, but when one happens, it's seems to be more likely to occur again, untill I reboot. Note, that the first oops'es in "additional information" were BEFORE i installed the nvidia kernel module! And I also noted that the oops'es happened before installing the nvidia kernel module. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: simply have the system turned on Additional info: [root@ikaros root]# uname -a Linux ikaros 2.4.22-1.2129.nptl #1 Mon Dec 1 08:36:24 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@ikaros root]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 Mobile CPU 1.60GHz stepping : 4 cpu MHz : 1595.333 cache size : 512 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm bogomips : 3185.04 [root@ikaros root]# cat /proc/i8k 1.0 A10 71QRF0J 51 0 1 0 5580 -1 0
Created attachment 96335 [details] relevant part of /var/log/messages Clippings of all the info i was able to extract from /var/log/messages
accidentally attached my entire /var/log/messages, sorry bout that. just search for "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer" and " kernel BUG at"
This should've got fixed in an update kernel, which had massive VM updates.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
