Hello all, I've just add two hangs with a plain vanilla kernel 2.4.21 on a Debian woody up2date. The machine is an old Pentium 100 with 64 Mb. Softs running on this machine are : - Apache+PHP+mod_ssl+... - Sendmail+spamassassin - Mailman (This can explain the python) - proftpd - squid I have installed gallery for fotos and while adding many big photos at a time (the process is quite consuming... the CPU is 100% during this). The problem seems to not occur when adding photo by photo The trace on the logs : Aug 8 20:57:55 www -- MARK -- Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: printing eip: Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: c012d765 Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: Oops: 0000 Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: CPU: 0 Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: EIP: 0010:[filemap_nopage+21/524] Not tainted Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: EFLAGS: 00010282 Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: eax: c99cdff0 ebx: c1164260 ecx: c2d2c260 edx: 08079000 Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: esi: 080798c0 edi: 00000000 ebp: c2d2c260 esp: c3971ea0 Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: Process python (pid: 17362, stackpage=c3971000) Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: Stack: c1164260 080798c0 00000000 c2d2c260 00000069 c10df214 c170c040 c1171720 Aug 8 21:15:01 www kernel: c0129bd6 c2d2c260 08079000 00000000 c1164260 080798c0 00000000 c2d2c260 Aug 8 21:15:02 www kernel: c0129dc4 c1164260 c2d2c260 080798c0 00000000 c0d811e4 c2d2c260 c1164260 Aug 8 21:15:02 www kernel: Call Trace: [do_no_page+90/492] [handle_mm_fault+92/192] [do_page_fault+378/1184] [do_page_fault+0/1184] [open_namei+744/1588] Aug 8 21:15:02 www kernel: [do_brk+280/536] [sys_brk+188/232] [error_code+52/64] Aug 8 21:15:02 www kernel: Aug 8 21:15:02 www kernel: Code: 8b 40 08 8b 5c 24 24 8b a8 ac 00 00 00 8b 44 24 28 8b 55 20 Aug 8 21:40:11 www syslogd 1.4.1#10: restart. What is the problem ? And is this problem will be fixed in the newest 2.4.22 ? Attached the .config of the kernel. If you need more info I can try to provide them... OK I've just added a file called results_ksymoops.txt done with the command "ksymoops /var/log/messages" (I hope this is the good way to do it) Thanks in advance, and please CC me as I'm not on the list Regards, Have fun and keep up the good work you are doing ;-) Jean-Yves
