Hi agian,
I have written to this group a couple of time concerning my system do a lot of strange
crashing. The replies I have gotten back have been helpful and have tried to point the blame
at either XFree86 4.0 or maybe a hardware problem. Both of these seemed like likely causes
and because I could not identify anything specific as to when or what would cause a crash, I let it
be and continued to watch these crashes to see if anything turned up. In addition I ran quite a few
diagositc test on the hardware (using harddrive manufactor testing software, wintune98, passmark-burnin
test, etc. And could not find any problems with the hardware -- well, that's not totally true, but I will get
there).
What has prompted me to write again (and hopefully not be thought to much of a fool) is that I have seen a
series of kernel panic's of which I actually saw some output (most of the time the system just locks-up and I don't get anything). In three diffrernt cases I got the following error prior to a kernel panic
mapaddr 0x74c881d4 not valid at usb-ohci.c:1397
The address is the only thing that would change between the 3 cases. The things I was doing when I got this message - running memtest (checking out the memory), compiling the kernel (2.4.0-test1), and booting up the
new kernel.
Now I realize that recreating these panic's would be nearly impossible - it does seem to point to something
in the kernel being wrong. BTW - in all three instances I was running without XFree.
If I need to add anything or try anything to help solve this problem, please don't hesitate to ask.
