Hello,
I could not find anything similar in the news, using google or any other
documentation, therefore teh mail.
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Kernel Panic and mount problems since 2.4.2, machine works and worked
properly with kernels < 2.4.2 and 2.2.x
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
When I do a
mount /dev/scd0 /mnt
I get
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
or too many mounted file systems
or repeating the mount command I sometimes get:
/dev/scd0: Input/output error
When continuing to work on the box after a short time I get
kernel: Kernel panic: DMA pool exhausted
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
kernel panic mount DMA pool
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Linux version 2.4.3 (root@rfhome) (gcc version 2.95.2 19991024

resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
sorry, no info

problem (if possible)

this setup w/o any problem.

[7.7.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
(please look in /proc and include all information that you
think to be relevant):
System works and worked w/o any flaws since months with kernels <
2.4.2. Reverting e.g. to 2.4.0 is absolutely fine. 2.4.3 was configured
using .config from 2.4.0 and running make oldconfig (as always), always
selecting the default. No device filesystem used.
[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
Sorry. Tried different methods, but it always crashed. I do not know if
the mount (isofs is module) command causes the trouble, but testing it
once more is risky, because I already lost a few files on root fs because
of the panic/crash.
