Kernel Oops VM
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:49:11 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: Running the 2.4.18-5 kernel on a 950 MHz Athlon with 1GB of RAM running Tomcat, Apache, Sendmail, and MySQL, I encountered a kernel panic while running 'apt-get update' then 'apt-get upgrade', using the apt-rpm packages. The download was completed, and while running the rpm -U command, a Segmentation Fault occurred. I tried one more time, and the computer completely froze, and did not respond on any ports, or through pinging. I did not have keyboard access at the time. About 350MB of memory was cached, and about 6MB of swap used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ran a production server with all updates, with 45 day uptime. Actual Results: A hard lockup of the system. Expected Results: No panics Additional info: oops from kernel: Dec 19 11:55:30 buster kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000002 Dec 19 11:55:30 buster

could be a hardware problem? does the system pass hardware test like memtes86 http://www.memtest86.com/ or cpuburn http://users.ev1.net/~redelm ?
