Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux unstable Hardware Environment: Laptop Toshiba Satellite 2410-514, P4-M 2GHz, 256Mo DDR, HD 30GBytes IDE, DVD-Combo IDE, Chipset Intel, FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller. For the external part : HD IDE in a box connected to the firewire + DVD Burner Sony also connected to the firewire. Software Environment: Gnome 2.6.0 beta 2 (CVS HEAD gnome.org) Problem Description: When copying or moving a file > 200Mbytes, the kernel crashed with an Oops fatal exception. Steps to reproduce: - mount the external Hard drive - copy or move a movie (this kind of file are always big enough to test) from the local HD to the external HD (didn't test the other way yet) - during the move, the kernel should crash. This is the ksymoops output: ksymoops 2.4.9 on i686 2.6.4-bk2. Options used -V (default) -k /proc/ksyms (default) -l /proc/modules (default) -o /lib/modules/2.6.4-bk2/ (default) -m /boot/System.map-2.6.4-bk2 (default) Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution. If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options. Error (regular_file): read_ksyms stat /proc/ksyms failed No modules in ksyms, skipping objects No ksyms, skipping lsmod Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00100104 d193d9b7 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002 [#1] CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<d193d9b7>] Not tainted Using defaults from ksymoops -t elf32-i386 -a i386 EFLAGS: 00010047 (2.6.4-bk2) eax: 00100100 ebx: cdacc000 ecx: c86fb884 edx: 00200200 esi: 00000001 edi: c86fb884 ebp: c0405ec4 esp: c0405ec0 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Stack: cdacec40 c0405f00 d199ca7a cdacc000 c86fb884 00000001 cdacc000 c0405f0c 00002002 c4cc8ea8 cdacec6c 00000296 cdaceac0 00000000 c0441828 0000000a c0405f10 c012c39e cdacec40 00000001 c0405f2c c012c1e0 c0441828 00000046 Call Trace: [<d199ca7a>] dma_trm_tasklet+0xf0/0x2a5 [ohci1394] [<c012c39e>] tasklet_action+0x43/0x65 [<c012c1e0>] do_softirq+0x98/0x9a [<c010a9e6>] do_IRQ+0x24f/0x39d [<c01089a8>] common_interrupt+0x18/0x20 [<d1982254>] acpi_processor_idle+0xe6/0x1e2 [processor] [<c0103000>] rest_init+0x0/0xf4 [<c01050b7>] cpu_idle+0x2f/0x38 [<c040673c>] start_kernel+0x1d3/0x243 [<c040642e>] unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x108 Code: 89 50 04 89 02 c7 41 04 00 02 20 00 c7 01 00 01 10 00 c6 41 >>EIP; d193d9b7 <pg0+114dd9b7/3fb9e000> <===== >>ebx; cdacc000 <pg0+d66c000/3fb9e000> >>ecx; c86fb884 <pg0+829b884/3fb9e000> >>edi; c86fb884 <pg0+829b884/3fb9e000> >>ebp; c0405ec4 <init_thread_union+1ec4/2000> >>esp; c0405ec0 <init_thread_union+1ec0/2000> Trace; d199ca7a <pg0+1153ca7a/3fb9e000> Trace; c012c39e <tasklet_action+43/65> Trace; c012c1e0 <do_softirq+98/9a> Trace; c010a9e6 <do_IRQ+24f/39d> Trace; c01089a8 <common_interrupt+18/20> Trace; d1982254 <pg0+11522254/3fb9e000> Trace; c0103000 <_stext+0/0> Trace; c01050b7 <cpu_idle+2f/38> Trace; c040673c <start_kernel+1d3/243> Trace; c040642e <unknown_bootoption+0/108> Code; d193d9b7 <pg0+114dd9b7/3fb9e000> 00000000 <_EIP>: Code; d193d9b7 <pg0+114dd9b7/3fb9e000> <===== 0: 89 50 04 mov %edx,0x4(%eax) <===== Code; d193d9ba <pg0+114dd9ba/3fb9e000> 3: 89 02 mov %eax,(%edx) Code; d193d9bc <pg0+114dd9bc/3fb9e000> 5: c7 41 04 00 02 20 00 movl $0x200200,0x4(%ecx) Code; d193d9c3 <pg0+114dd9c3/3fb9e000> c: c7 01 00 01 10 00 movl $0x100100,(%ecx) Code; d193d9c9 <pg0+114dd9c9/3fb9e000> 12: c6 41 00 00 movb $0x0,0x0(%ecx) <0>Kernel panic: Fatal exception in interrupt 1 warning and 1 error issued.
