there's a new SLOB regression - the attached config crashes with: [ 61.245190] rc.sysinit used greatest stack depth: 1680 bytes left [ 61.386859] list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (407d973c), but was 418cf818. (prev=41877098). [ 61.396328] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 61.400910] kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:33! [ 61.405330] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] DEBUG_PAGEALLOC looks like memory corruption of some sort and it's reproducible. Picking CONFIG_SLUB makes the crash go away. Booting v2.6.23 with the same .config works fine. bisection is difficult due to networking releated Kconfig problems: if i put my .24 .config into .23 then the network drivers get lost. (we should be more Kconfig-compatible between kernel releases, to ease bisection efforts) (full bootlog and config attached) Ingo
