It would be useful if you could perform a memtest overnight one night,
then run a non-patched and non-tained 2.6.16.1 kernel, and try to
reproduce the problems.
As i said, i really doubt that the memory is at fault here, it has done
several passes over the memory but not all tests. I can give it a go
though, but i really doubt it'll find anything.
If it doesn't cost you much time (ie. do it overnight) it could save some
developers a lot of time.
The kernel i run is a plain 2.6.16.1 from kernel.org (i have heard that
you can actually compile gentoos own these days)
OK, good.
Since this is my *cough* desktop, running it without that ability is
kinda a show stopper, thats why i included the thing above.
But if the problem can be reproduced in 15 minutes, it shouldn't be
too hard to get a trace without nvidia loaded.
But the thing is, my laptop runs with the same compiler, "same" nvidia
driver and the "same" kernel ("same" as in 32 bit not 64 bit).
Eventhough "same" in this case usually means nothing, i doubt that one
would have a serius bug and the other wouldn't, ie it's most likley a
bug related to 64 bits or one or more of the drivers involved.
The only errors i get in dmesg atm is:
KERNEL: assertion (!sk->sk_forward_alloc) failed at net/core/stream.c
(283)
KERNEL: assertion (!sk->sk_forward_alloc) failed at net/ipv4/af_inet.c
(150)
Which is related to TSO, from what i gather, but i can't turn off tso on
forcedeth... (i suspected this to cause corruption a while back....)
If your network hardware or driver is flakey, try compiling a kernel
without that as well before reproducing this swap problem.
Thanks,
Nick
