Re: [Wlug] Kernel Crash dump

by Jason Couture

I'd run memtest86 plus, the memory controller can cause those of you have a bad module. Try swapping out the ram before. Blaming the CPU or motherboard. I had a similar panic a long time ago, turned out 1 of my memory modules was bad. Definately a hardware issue though.

Well, that about says it: a CRC error on the HyperTransport link. That sure sounds like a hardware glitch. You can certainly try cleaning out the heat sinks and fans, but if that doesn't work, it may be time for a new CPU and/or mobo. _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlu...

Kernel Crash dump

by Andy Stewart

HI guys, I finally got some type of crash dump from my system. I have tried Ubuntu variations of the 2.6.35, 2.6.36, and 2.6.37 kernels, all of which have crashed on me. Finally, 2.6.37 gave me a trace on the console screen. I had to copy it down by hand, so don't take it too literally. Here is the data. I intentionally left out all of the hex addresses in the call trace. It seems pretty obvious to me that something is amiss in the hardware. I wonder if my heat syncs are full of dust. That will be the first thing I check. Any helpful advice would be most appreciated. Thanks!
