Bug 171536 – random "general protection fault" (12hr - 7days) in 2.6.19-hardened-r5

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Juan J. Prieto 2007-03-20 09:39:32 UTC]

The system init is ok, but sometimes (random times) appers a kernel panic with the message: general protection fault. the system only route packets and have 2 service: ssh and nprobe (netflow probe). The same kernel and distribution is working fine in other machines, the error only occur in an ACROSSER system (AR-M9942/CPU board:AR-B1893A).

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
