From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt) Description of problem: I got this kernel (2.4.5-0.4) message after boot. Details : kernel BUG at slab.c:1244! invalid operand: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<c012b3d4>] EFLAGS: 00010082 eax: 0000001b ebx: c188d768 ecx: 00000001 edx: 00002370 esi: dba5a000 edi: dba5a9aa ebp: 00012800 esp: dc0fde2c ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process mingetty (pid: 1014, stackpage=dc0fd000) Stack: c01d9d6f 000004dc dba5a000 00001000 dba5a9aa ... Call Trace: [<c01618cd>] [<c0162545>] ... Code: 0f 0b 58 8b 6b 10 5a 81 e5 00 04 00 00 74 4d b8 a5 c2 0f 17 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I'm often testing new packages from rawhide and after compiling this kernel (2.4.5-0.4) I seeems this message twice in 3 days (cca 5x reboot), always at end of booting. This bug is not reproduceable. Actual Results: After this message was mgetty dead and I cannot login. I must use emergency magic sysrq for sync + reboot. Expected Results: IMHO patch into kernel source for repair cache management ? Additional info: Kernel is compiled with DEBUG option by gcc-g77-2.96-85 compiler, used was glibc-2.2.3-11 library. Optimalization for PIII. HW - Microstar6163Pro (chipset Intel 440BX), 512 MB RAM, P III 550.
Any special modules/drivers loaded ? lsmod and lspci output would help here, if others report the same, we can then find the "common" ones.....
