Subject: How to interpret a kernel bug output from dmesg?
Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 17:53:34 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bda6d13a0510071753h80ed0fdoa35f3b39a3079ef1@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I got this. Probably I caused it. Kernel is 2.6.13, slightly modified
(weird new psuedo filesystem).
Problem is I don't know how to read it.  I wouldn't recommend looking
for it yourself: I doubt
you will find anything.
Yes, I compiled with DEBUG_DCACHE (or something similar, uncommented the
debug define at the top of dcache.c). I ran dmesg -c just before the ls that
crashed, and dmesg right afterwards. Nothing else present.
