kernel NULL pointer
Following a re-compilation of my kernel (2.0.36) pon is
behaving erratically, to say the least. After a reboot
it works quite often the first time, less often the
second, rarely the third... and once it's failed, it
always fails after that.
When it fails, it spews out a couple of screenfuls of
something too fast to capture and then hangs - sometimes
^C kills it, sometimes ^D, sometimes I have to reboot.
The straces of failed and successful connections seem
identical (except for pids and times, of course).
This is the syslog account (the same every time, I think):
Apr 17 00:17:07 gennes kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address c0000000
Apr 17 00:17:07 gennes kernel: current->tss.cr3 = 00101000, %cr3 = 00101000
Apr 17 00:17:07 gennes kernel: *pde = 00102067
Apr 17 00:17:07 gennes kernel: *pte = 00000000
Apr 17 00:17:07 gennes kernel: Oops: 0000
Apr 17 00:17:07 gennes kernel: CPU: 0
Apr 17 00:17:07 gennes kerneld: error: exit: Identifier removed
If anyone recognizes the symptoms, I'd be most grateful
for pointers in the direction of a solution.
