Re: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request

[Markus <M4rkusXXL@web.de>]

Hi!

Had disabled swap (saw the string "swapper" and "page_fault"...) and now 
the problem does not show up anymore. Dont know, if its now "fixed", but 
is it possible that raid1 and swap on top does not really work? Normal 
system usage (auto-detected raid1, add swap by fstab, regularly running 
a check and perhaps a resync).

Thanks,
Markus
