Description Sergei Danilov 2009-09-02 18:07:54 UTC

I just installed gentoo linux on new laptop and constantly face kernel panic while emerge packages like gcc.During usual work it does not happen. 
I collected kernel panic trace using netconsole , but for it too hard to read and understand which module or application crashed the system

Issue happen both when I doing emerge from GUI(kde) or console
I'am using laptop Dell Inspiron 1525 (core2duo 64bit)
uname output=Linux dhcppc3 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 #4 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 2 23:26:12 EEST 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

There are kernel config , llsmod , lspci -k,emerge --info output in attach 


Reproducible: Always

It is interesting to see someone who reports almost the same issue that I encounter currently. Do the crashes occur always at the same place? Here I get irregular crashes and it is difficult to reproduce them. (Often when starting "emerge -auvDN world", but I also had the gcc emerge process crash or the compile process of gcc with "internal compiler error"). Normally it is a clear sign of defective memory, but memtest could not find anything.
Have you already tried a newer kernel?

log of the kernel crash

This is a log of the kernel error that happened here. Shortly after that the machine crashed completely.

Comment 7 Sergei Danilov 2009-09-09 20:07:59 UTC

I tried with different kernel  - it didn't help.All the time kernel panics were the different.
But you was right about the memory - I've got the another memory and tried it.And got the sunshine! Kernel panics have dissapeared.
This issue could be stated as solved (at least for me)

Comment 8 Christian Schmitt 2009-09-10 12:00:42 UTC

I think and hope that I solved my problem as well. Looked into the BIOS at the RAM settings. They were set to auto, but the values behind were completely wrong. Too high values. I set it according to the SPD data and now I think it should work. Dunno why this happened...
