Hi, Within half a day of upgrading from 2.6.27-rc4 to 2.6.28.7, one of our buildds did this: Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): Cheetah error trap taken afsr[0010100001000000] afar[0000001040000000] TL1(0) Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): TPC[407b30] TNPC[407b34] O7[44136c] TSTATE[480f09607] Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): TPC<copy_tsb+0x30/0x80> Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): M_SYND(0), E_SYND(0), Privileged Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): Highest priority error (0000100000000000) "Unmapped error from system bus" Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): D-cache idx[0] tag[0000000000000000] utag[0000000000000000] stag[0000000000000000] Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): D-cache data0[0000000000000000] data1[0000000000000000] data2[0000000000000000] data3[0000000000000000] Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): I-cache idx[0] tag[0000000000000000] utag[0000000000000000] stag[0000000000000000] u[0000000000000000] l[0000000000000000] Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): I-cache INSN0[0000000000000000] INSN1[0000000000000000] INSN2[0000000000000000] INSN3[0000000000000000] Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): I-cache INSN4[0000000000000000] INSN5[0000000000000000] INSN6[0000000000000000] INSN7[0000000000000000] Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): E-cache idx[40000000] tag[000000001e040fca] Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: ERROR(1): E-cache data0[0000400000000000] data1[0410071101000080] data2[0000400000000000] data3[fffff8103f283331] Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: Kernel panic - not syncing: Irrecoverable deferred error trap. Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: Mar 17 00:31:56 schroeder kernel: Press Stop-A (L1-A) to return to the boot prom The copy_tsb reference generally renders me fairly clueless :) but from what my feeble little vgrep can infer, it looks like a program's RSS tried to grow and experienced a page fault, kernel's fault handler tried to grow/relocate it into a better TSB (physical memory block?) but then ran into some sort of a showstopper. Could this indicate a physical problem with the memory, given that I added some RAM chips into the same machine relatively recently (Feb 26th)? -- 2.
