Hi, here a short oops while trying to run "find" in a glibc 2.2 root on a Indigo2 with a current cvs 2.4.0 kernel. Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000, epc == 00000000, ra == 00000000 Oops in fault.c:do_page_fault, line 172: $0 : 00000000 1004fc00 fffffff2 00000001 $4 : fffffff2 00000000 00000001 00000000 $8 : 00000000 2abf3a94 8800f4a0 00000004 $12: 8ec57f10 7ffffaf8 8ec57f18 8ec57f18 $16: 8801acf8 00000000 10011510 00000002 $20: 10011510 7ffffdd4 7ffffdcc 00000001 $24: 00000000 2abf3a80 $28: 8ec56000 8ec57ef8 7ffffd10 00000000 epc : 00000000 Status: 1004fc03 Cause : 30000008 Process find (pid: 227, stackpage=8ec56000) Stack: 10011510 7ffffd10 88028344 00000000 7ffffc80 00402440 2aca4e00 2ac95d10 00000000 2ac95d10 10011510 00000002 00000001 8800fa88 000007d1 100234f0 10011510 00000000 00000003 00012000 00000000 1004fc01 00001035 00000000 000007d1 10011510 00000001 00000000 0000fc00 00000010 00000000 8ec57f0c 8ec57f10 8ec57f14 8ec57ef8 8ec57efc 2aca4e00 2ac95d10 10011510 00000002 00000001 ...
