Those messages are an "oops". That is, a kernel bug. You were being lucky enought that those failures don't seem to be critical enought to completely kill your machine, which is why KDE can report them to you. Since it seems that you don't get a full hang after getting those messages, could you attach here the output of your dmesg _after_ getting those messages, since you seem to have obtained your dmesg from a clean boot? (save it in a file and send it later if neccesary). Could you give memtest86 a run to check if your memory is in bad state? BTW, davej says there're possibilities there's memory corruption somewhere, so give that memory tester a good run! Quote: "In the oops above btw, it's possible that's the result of bad ram. 00000400 is a single bit, which if randomly flipped would make it bypass if (foo==NULL) checks, and explode giving a backtrace just like that one. Give it a going over with memtest ? " I've used 5 ram tester, Memtest86 reported me all 512MB I've are bad instead all other testers reported me RAM has no damages. Anyway I've cleaned all RAM contacts , possible some powder has created some contacts problems. Now I'll see if this was just such stupid problem or not. Memtest86 worked unusual for me: it reported my computers RAM (2 notebooks and 3 more other computers) was all bad ... neither 1MB saved....I've created the testing floppy via linux, instead all other ram testers boot floppy used windows. ... or at least I tried to (but cannot). But you can -- please open http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6836 and set the severit, thanks. Mmmh, so your RAM is failing, or memtest86 is buggy? Does windows works fine? Yes, just the memtest86 failed, all other mem testers i've used reported my mem is perfect. Well, now I'm using the rc3 patch and such error message still nomore appeared. |
