I have an IBM DJSA-220 20 gig harddisk: /dev/hda: Model=IBM-DJSA-220, FwRev=JS4OAC3A, SerialNo=44K44SH8203 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=1874kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=39070080 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 AdvancedPM=yes: mode=0x80 (128) WriteCache=enabled Drive Supports : ATA/ATAPI-5 T13 1321D revision 1 : ATA-2 ATA-3 ATA-4 ATA-5 I think other people have problems with similar setups, as recorded for example in the thread starting here: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0110.0/0627.html Anyway, I just got a "Kernel BUG" dump so I figured since this problem seems to have stuck with us for a while I might as well report it here and see if anyone might wanna make a go at it. I'm running the kernel that ships with RH 7.3, reportedly 2.4.18-3. I was in runlevel 1 with basically no other user processes running (it happened during a partition transfer), which is good except that I couldn't copy and paste the dump to file. Thus, the log below has been typed manually by me -- I was quite careful but there may be typos. --------------------------[ cut here ] ---------------------- Kernel BUG at page_alloc.c:117! invalid operand: 0000 maestro3 ac97_codec soundcore agpgart NVdriver binfmt_misc autofs eepro100 ipc CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[] Tainted: P EFLAGS: 00010282 EIP is at __free_pages_ok [kernel] 0x57 (2.4.18-3) eax: 00000020 ebx: c12c4a38 ecx: 00000001 edx: 00002512 esi: 00000000 edi: c02c473c ebp: 00000000 esp: c139bf58 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process kswapd (pid: 5, stackpage=c139b000) Stack: [snipped] Call Trace: [] try_to_free_buffers [kernel] 0xb3 [] try_to_release_page [kernel] 0x3a [] drop_page [kernel] 0x34 [] refill_inactive_zone [kernel] 0x206 [] kswapd [kernel] 0x280 [] stext [kernel] 0x0 [] kernel_thread [kernel] 0x26 [] kswapd [kernel] 0x0 Code: 0f 0b 5d 58 8b 3d f0 e2 32 c0 89 d8 29 f8 69 c0 b7 6d db b6 Thanks in advance, - - - Emil Eifrem [ emil@eifrem.com || www.eifrem.com || www.javamud.org ]
