Ah, the very tail end of an oops.
That explains it, I've never had one so long that everything else had
scrolled off the screen. 2.2.x has been stable enough that I only have
gotten a kernel oops from hardware errors, mainly when I get an nmi from
bad memory so I've never had to worry about decoding before this.
I like that in an OS, thanks! :)
For the curious, here it is decoded:
[<8010997c>]
Code: 8b 4a 04 85 c9 74 22 8b 5a 18 8b 02 89 01 8b 0a 85 c9 74 08
Code: 00000000 Before first symbol 00000000 <_IP>: <===
Code: 00000000 Before first symbol 0: 8b 4a 04
movl 0x4(%edx),%ecx <===
Code: 00000003 Before first symbol 3: 85 c9
testl %ecx,%ecx
Code: 00000005 Before first symbol 5: 74 22
je 00000029 Before first symbol
Code: 00000007 Before first symbol 7: 8b 5a 18
movl 0x18(%edx),%ebx
Code: 0000000a Before first symbol a: 8b 02
movl (%edx),%eax
Code: 0000000c Before first symbol c: 89 01
movl %eax,(%ecx)
Code: 0000000e Before first symbol e: 8b 0a
movl (%edx),%ecx
Code: 00000010 Before first symbol 10: 85 c9
testl %ecx,%ecx
Code: 00000012 Before first symbol 12: 74 08
je 0000001c Before first symbol
We're going to test that machine and see if we can reproduce it. If we
can, my first suspect is a hardware error since we have several
indentical machines which aren't getting this oops.
