On boot, the kernel does show an error message (given below). As this message says it's a bug, I thought I could submit it ... ;) ncr53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 10, function 0 ncr53c8xx: 53c825 detected ncr53c825-0: rev 0x2 on pci bus 0 device 10 function 0 irq 11 ncr53c825-0: ID 7, Fast-10, Parity Checking scsi0 : ncr53c8xx-3.4.3b-20010512 kernel BUG at slab.c:1244! invalid operand: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<c012b2fc>] EFLAGS: 00010082 eax: 0000001b ebx: c1117480 ecx: 00000001 edx: 00001058 esi: c1124e00 edi: c1124e01 ebp: 00012800 esp: c3d0fca0 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process insmod (pid: 14, stackpage=c3d0f000) Stack: c023517c 000004dc c1124e00 00000200 c1124e01 00000046 00000001 c3bc4000 c3bc4000 00000000 c1124c00 00000000 00000000 00000000 c48031f1 0000018c 00000020 c1144d54 00000202 c1124c00 00000000 00000000 c3d0fda4 c480c64c Call Trace: [<c0183740>] [<c01837b1>] [<c0185950>] [<c01366ac>] [<c0171b79>] [<c01b8a31>] [<c0176923>] [<c0175e5c>] [<c0115b39>] [<c0115caa>] [<c0116a97>] [<c0106f6b>] Code: 0f 0b 58 8b 6b 10 5a 81 e5 00 04 00 00 74 4d b8 a5 c2 0f 17 <6>Journalled Block Device driver loaded kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds This happens during boot (in the initrd part). Looking at linuxrc, this must be either when doing the insmod for ncr53c8xx or for jbd. This is on a Compaq Proliant 1500 with a onboard NCR53C825 SCSI chip and a Compaq Smart Array Controller (the original one).
This defect considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.
Does Roswell2 still do this ?
Was this a one-time occurence or did it occur on each boot? Also, to re-iterate Arjan's question, does it occur with the refresh of Roswell (kernel 2.4.7-2)?
Just a quick note: I'll be busy until Tue 08 28 2001, will test this sometime between Wed and Sun with Roswell2. This did occur on each reboot with the last beta, but I didn't have time to check the latest beta for now. Will test this ASAP ...
What's the status of this?
