Every time I try to compile garnome, I do get similar messages when I allow my system to run for a long time. I was using the last updated kernel from RedHat (2.4.18-5). I did installed the 2.4.19, witch I have compiled from the source. The kernel BUG message that is in my log is the following: Aug 4 12:44:59 victor kernel: kernel BUG at page_alloc.c:183!

At least I never found out where does it happen. I have an athlon 950mhz in a Abit KR7A-RAID (KT266A and VIA VT8233 chipset) motherborad, 256 Mb of DDR ram, GeForce 2 MMX 200 Video (*), soudblaster live, a 40Gb Seagate IDE harddisk (model ST340823A) and a HP CD R/RW 9340i. My harddisk has the following partiotion table : Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 7 56196 83 Linux /dev/hda2 * 8 964 7687102+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda3 965 1027 506047+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hda4 1028 4865 30828735 5 Extended /dev/hda5 2099 4865 22225896 83 Linux /dev/hda6 1028 1078 409626 83 Linux /dev/hda7 1079 2098 8193118+ 83 Linux witch is mounted into the system as following : LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip100.0 auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/hda5 /opt/ reiserfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/c vfat noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 You mey notice that I am using both ext3 and reiserfs, I used to have only reiserfs disks, but since I noticed this problem I had a number of tests including reinstalling everything into ext3, the opt partition is a last reminisent from the time where all I had was reiserfs. The garnome test is located in the /opt and is installing to the same partition. I can't think of anything else I can mention to help in this (bug?) report. I do know that this can be hardware related, but when I bougth the athlon machine I had the same problem with a Asus KT133 based motherboard, i managed to exchange it for this ABIT KT266A that is showing the same problem. I am willing to make tests, and I do have some knowledge (not kernel related) so if you need info, please ask me that I'll do my best. I am not subscribed to the list, so if you could forward the replies to my email. Thanks in advance... (*) I am using the NVidia non-gpl driver, but this test was done in run-level 3, without any X running (also with the NVdriver module unloaded). --
