Hi, I also got the Oops in same place. My environment is: o board: Pb1000 ( Au1000 eval. board ) o kernel: SGI version of 2.4.17 o root fs: nfs root o userland: RedHat 7.1 got from SGI ftp site. When rebuilding rpm package on the MIPS board, I also got error in same place. Today I compiled kernel with __wake_up_common not inline function, and got same result. And also made kgdb version. I found that the line p = curr->task; made the memory violation. When trap occurs, gdb says curr = 0xfffffffc So here is the place of memory violation.

If you use objdump to disassemble, add -m mips:4600 option to get correct mnemonic. And the cause register says exception occurred in delay slot, so: > Code; 8010b1f0 <__wake_up+140/198> > 10: 8e05fffc lw a1,-4(s0) The memory violation occurs here. Registers dump says s0 = 00000000, memory access to 0xfffffffc occurs here. > Code; 8010b1f4 <__wake_up+144/198> > 14: 40016000 mfc0 at,$12 > Code; 8010b1f8 <__wake_up+148/198> > 18: 32730001 andi s3,s3,0x1 > Code; 8010b1fc <__wake_up+14c/198> > 1c: 34210001 ori at,at,0x1 > Code; 8010b200 <__wake_up+150/198> > 20: 38210001 xori at,at,0x1 Thanks. _._. __._ _ . ... _ .___ ._. _____ _... ._ _._ _.._. .____ _ . ... _ Kunihiko IMAI
