2.6.6 Oops on kswapd

From: Lukasz Trabinski
Date: Tue May 11 2004 - 06:03:51 EST


Hello linux-kernel

First question is, how to use correctly ksymoops on 2.6.X? What about
-k parametr?

Anyway, below is oops from 2.6.6 on i686 (3 hours after reboot) (Pentium
4), 525MB RAM, 700MB Swap area, ide disks, ext3 & ext2 area. Linux Fedora Core
1. With 2.6.4 that machine has worked 30 days without any problems.

ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.6.6. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.6.6/ (default)
-m /lib/modules/2.6.6/System.map (specified)

Error (regular_file): read_ksyms stat /proc/ksyms failed
No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
No ksyms, skipping lsmod
