Hello list, a few days ago I had the following error message while booting:
--------/--------- kmem_alloc: Bad slab magic (corrupt) (name=kmem_cache) Kernel panic: kmem_cache_sizes_init: Error creating caches In swapper task - not swapping --------/--------- After a second reboot everything worked fine. But a few days later I had a similar problem, also on booting. This was the message: --------/--------- Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 7fdaa0e4 current->tss.cr3 = 00101000, %cr3 = 00101000 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<c0121755>] EFLAGS: 00010245 eax: 00000000 ebx: c02b8444 ecx: 00000015 edx: 00008500 esi: 00000000 edi: 7fdaa0e4 ebp: 000000a0 esp: c02fbf80 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process swapper (pid: 0, process nr: 0, stackpage=c02fb000) stack: 00000000 000000a0 00000000 effef028 fffffff0 ffffffff 00000000 00000020 00000000 00000000 00000010 00000004 7fdaa0e4 c0300377 c0257ab8 00000020 00000000 00002000 00000000 00000000 00000000 000a0200 c0106000 c02fcc05 Call Trace: [<c0257ab8>] [<c0106000>] [<c0106000>] [<c0100175>] Code: f3 ... --------/--------- Unfortunately the screen suddenly blanked dfor some reason so I didn't have the chance to copy the rest of the message. Thats the reason for the three dots at the end. So what does this mean? I think it is a hardware problem, but which? Is it a problem with my RAM? I would be glad if someone could tell me.
