Guys, here's a (yes I know, fairly vague) error report - I'm just beginning to narrow this down. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Dual opteron (Sun Fire v20z), 2G RAM, untainted x86_64 kernels (no preempt or other fancy stuff, just plain and simple K8 NUMA ACPI configs); Problem with 2.6.11.11: Machine hangs during backup (amanda) - right after the estimates are done the box will freeze hard, nothing on console. Tried 2.6.12-rc6 in the hope that it would at least print out a panic or oops for me: Haven't tried the backup yet, but I got the following in the logs which I've never seen before: gcc[18818]: segfault at 00000000332c8e54 rip 000000005555a0a8 rsp 00000000ffffba4c error 6 klogd[3116]: segfault at 000000003ef1b373 rip 000000000804a3b3 rsp 00000000ffffbbe0 error 4 gcc[18857]: segfault at 00000000332c8e54 rip 000000005555a0a8 rsp 00000000ffffbedc error 6 gcc[19049]: segfault at 00000000332c8e54 rip 000000005555a0a8 rsp 00000000ffffaefc error 6 gcc[19097]: segfault at 00000000332c8e54 rip 000000005555a0a8 rsp 00000000ffffb1fc error 6 gcc[19251]: segfault at 00000000332c8e54 rip 000000005555a0a8 rsp 00000000ffffc9dc error 6 gcc[19272]: segfault at 00000000332c8e54 rip 000000005555a0a8 rsp 00000000ffffb1bc error 6 gcc[1569]: segfault at 00000000332c8e54 rip 000000005555a0a8 rsp 00000000ffffb56c error 6 gcc[16458]: segfault at 00000000332c8e54 rip 000000005555a0a8 rsp 00000000ffffc9ac error 6 So, with 2.6.12-rc6 all of the sudden klogd and gcc starts segfaulting... No ECC errors or other anormalities reported via the service processor. Anything you want me to try? Need more information? -- / jakob
