strace output including crash
Not for the kernel.org guys, sorry. 2.6.18 is way old, and suse have changed it and it's running in vmware which might affect things. Probably it'd be best to take it up with suse. Created attachment 16162 [details]

Ah! Field has a cut: It is reproducible on Linux debian 2.6.18-6-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:50:19 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux as well as Linux openSUSE 2.6.22.5-31-default #1 SMP 2007/09/21 22:29:00 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux as well as Linux sles10-sp1-sdm 2.6.16.46-0.12-default #1 Thu May 17 14:00:09 UTC 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Which x86_64 kernel do you recommend to install? Could there be a general problem with a x86_64 kernel in VMware ESX? can this be reproduced on different esx boxes ? (to make sure it isn`t hardware related) which esx version do you use ? did you apply all patches for that? It CAN be reproduced on different ESX servers, I tried with two - my collegues with other 2. Additionally, it can be reproduced on VMware Server (not ESX). (Version follows) We 've tried on several Intel Xeon 64 bit processors and an AMD Turion64, the version of our ESX software is VMware ESX Server 3.0.2, 61618 The version of the VMware Server with the same error hehaviour is VMware Server 6.0.3, 80004 On the VMware Server it took an hour until the error appeared, on the ESX servers between 1 and 30 minutes. "Tests using real hardware, using a i686 kernel and using JDK / JRE 1.6 64 bit edition or JDK / JRE 1.5 (32 bit and 64 bit) could not reproduce the crashes." Please refer to vmware in that case. There isn't any obvious Linux reason for this Hello dear Kernel engineers! - Tests on real hardware cannot reproduce the problem in any case - no time this was a problem - After updating to a newer ESX release, the problem disappeared Not knowing exactly the problem, I suppose that ESX memory mapping was buggy for special JDK memory allocation. |
