Hi all,
I am hoping someone here will be able to fix this as I am not a kernel
hacker. After an uptime of around 12 days, Linux kernel 2.2.9 started
oopsing whenever sync was ran. an strace on sync determined sync(2)
returns unfinished and sync itself then segfaults. A reboot fixed the
problem but I have experienced it with early 2.2 kernels as well. System
info:
Linux 2.2.9 compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3 runing glibc 2.1.1 Four ide devices
are installed, hda is a maxtor 8.4g hd, hdb is a quantum fireball 6.4g hd,
hdc is an hp 8110 CD writer and hdd is a MATSHITA CR-581, ATAPI CDROM
drive.
Below is what klogd spat out in /var/log/kern.log. It looks a bit more
comprehensive than what came up on the console as I believe it's using
System.map. I had it log 3 seperate sync calls.
