kernel 2.6.19-1.2881.fc7 gets general protection fault
Last modified: 2008-04-03 17:52:19 EDT
Description of problem: It happened when installing grub on a floppy with ext2 file system (as described in 'info grub' and don't ask :-). I found in dmesg WARNING at mm/truncate.c:400 invalidate_inode_pages2_range() and general protection fault: 0000 [1] SMP Attached is a file with registered backtraces and a normal dmesg output. I cannot tell for sure that this is related but a subsequent shutdown got stuck in 'Unmounting file systems'. A floppy to which I was writing got unmounted earlier without any incidents. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.19-1.2881.fc7 How reproducible: Unknown.
Created attachment 143982 [details] traces from general protection fault
Created attachment 143983 [details] "regular" dmesg output after a boot
