Re: 4.9-PRERELEASE PAE panics Highpoint Raid module (hpt374.ko)

2003-10-19 Thread Gregory Bond
Any module compiled without PAE will probably panic a PAE kernel.  (See recent 
threads about pnc and rl ethernet drivers).  Given the fragility of the module 
build process, a good rule of thumb might be "never use modules in a PAE 
kernel (or an INVARIENTS kernel, or)". 

At the very least, you will need to get an updated hpt module from the vendor.

As I recall, with PAE things must be compiled into the kernel, because
modules don't see the necessary PAE switch during compilation.  That
said, I have no idea if the hpt driver has been updated for PAE.

Here's another possibility. A year ago, I saw similar behavior with a brand
new box on which I'd loaded 4.7-RELEASE. The problem was bad RAM, which
memtest86 (www.memtest86.com) confirmed for me. I replaced the memory, and
the problem hasn't recurred since.
