Cc: discuss@x86-64.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi Andi, The kernel 2.6.18.3 runs very well on my x64 server with 2 CPU's and 8G memory; however kernel 2.6.16.32 kernel panic(Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init) under the stress test. After I use mem=4000M for kernel 2.6.16.32, the kernel panic doesn't happen under stress test. This bug also happens with latest sles10 kernel(2.6.16.21-0.25-smp), which is based on 2.6.16.21. Do you know what patch fixed this bug between 2.6.16.32 and 2.6.18.3? Then we could backport the patch to both 2.6.16.32 and sles10 kernel. Thanks, Forrest
