I have only used your 2.2.15 to install and now 2.2.15pre14 that I compiled (I am working on getting 2.3.99 to boot correclty) > - Do you use the "nap" mode for power management ? (assuming it's a > powerbook) It's a desktop. It happens seemingly randomly, and generally only after being on for a while. And I am 99% sure it only happens when I start tweaking w/ multiword and unmask irq.. I even wrote down the exact xmon output one time :-) vector: 300 at pc=C003e6d0, msr=9032, sp=08459c60 [c8459bb0] dar=d453d724, dsisr=40000000 current=c8458000, pid=6536, comm=slocate I guess that is the slocate one... I understand the basic information in that (I have taken my cpu and assembly classes), but definately not enough to debug wtf it means is wrong. I have deduced the error from the fact that it happens during a period of data transfer (mp3s or a database execution; the latter only happened once) and that I am almost certain it only happens when I play with the ide settings... --Nelson Abramson -- Shouldn't people be arrested and persecuted for engaging in their constitutional rights? http://www.opendvd.org ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
