Oops from a 2.4.18pre2aa2 kernel

Oops from a 2.4.18pre2aa2 kernel

[Yusuf Goolamabbas]

kernel 2.4.18pre2aa2 with a RH 7.0 distribution

Hi  Attached is a decoded oops from a SMP 2GB RAM box being used
as a webserver [Apache] fronted by Squid and having lots of UW-IMAP
processes reading mailboxes over NFS. The box typically has a load
average of 70 with very few runnable processes [most of them are in D
state waiting for relatively slow NFS IO]

There are similar FreeBSD 4.4-stable boxes and they seem to have much
fewer processes stuck in disk wait state [similar amount of web traffic]
and NFS seems much speedier there compared to 2.4.18pre2aa2

I/O subsystem, 2 IDE disks connected to Promise ATA-100 card in software
RAID-1 configuration

If there is any other information, I can provide. please let me know


Regards, Yusuf

ksymoops 2.3.4 on i686 2.4.18pre2aa2.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.18pre2aa2/ (default)
     -m /usr/src/linux/System.map (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.

No modules in ksyms, skipping objects
Warning (read_lsmod): no symbols in lsmod, is /proc/modules a valid lsmod file?
Warning (compare_maps): mismatch on symbol partition_name  , ksyms_base says c01c61b0, System.map says c0156060.  Ignoring ksyms_base entry
