Fw: Error in 2.2.14 and 2.2.15: kmem_alloc: Bad slab magic (corrupt) (name=buffer_head)
Hi all, I've gotten a few emails like the one below since my original post about seeing the bad slab magic corruption on a Linux server which I had been running. From the emails I've gotten this error now spans hardware. Mine was an Athlon. This guy is a K6-2. The only thing I am not sure of is if one of those emails mentioned an Intel. Could something be going on here? - Original Message - From: "Chris Sparks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 20, 2000 9:03 AM Subject: Re: Error in 2.2.14 and 2.2.15: kmem_alloc: Bad slab magic (corrupt) (name=buffer_head) > Hi Anthony, > > Back in May of this year you responded to a "Bad slab magic" problem > with Linux.

Unable to compile the 2.2.18 kernel
Hi,
I am unable to compile the latest kernel. I have attached my kernel
configuration and a copy of the output of where the compile fails. I am
looking into what is causing the compile failure, but have not been able to
figure it out yet. Still looking though.

Re: Unable to compile the 2.2.18 kernel
Thanks. I missed that this time when I modified the Makefile. I didn't pay close attention to the new script code in there to check for the kernel compiler. - Original Message - From: "Peter Samuelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Anthony Barbachan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Alan Cox" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Linux Kernel Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 11, 2000 1:17 AM Subject: Re: Unable to compile the 2.2.18 kernel > > [Anthony Barbachan] > > I am unable to compile the latest kernel.

Question on binutils release to use
Hi all, I'm looking into upgrading my binutils to the latest stable release. I do kernel work so I'm guessing from previous experience that I have to get the Linux specific one. I tracked the linux specific versions down to ftp.kernel.org but am not certain as to which one is the latest stable release. The frequency of releases posted there make it look like the snapshot released are interposed with the stable releases and the release notes don't appear to be helpful as all the releases have been labeled as "beta". Checking into a couple of distributions in development I also notice they are not using anything beyond 2.10.1.x so I'm a bit concerned about just getting the latest binutils package from the ftp directory. May someone please point me to the latest release considered as stable and which will work with all kernel compiles (2.2.x and 2.4.x). Or if I can safely use the latest release in the binutils directory please let me know as well. Thank you. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Best I can tell it has yet to reach the level of compatibility that iBCS has. Although last version I tried was the 2.4.3 patch on the linux abi web site. I noticed a newer one on the openlinux ftp site, might give that one a try too though considering what happened with the one I previously tried I am nowhere near optimistic. Unfortunately this has burned me since I need to setup a new system that uses the new features of the 2.4.x kernels (latest rieserfs, better smp, support for the latest ide chipsets, better scaling) which also can run SCO binaries. I am actually at the point where I am strongly considering trying to port iBCS myself though not sure about it yet mainly due to concerns that I may not implement it correctly to work with some of the latest kernel changes without understanding how the original iBCS was designed. By the way is there a reason there isn't a patch to support the latest available for the 2.2.x kernels? Is it incompatible with the 2.2.x kernels? I recently needed to downgrade the kernel on a machine due to 2.4.x instability but was unable to due to the lack of a patch to support the latest rieserfs on 2.2.x. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
