OK, I compiled 2.6.22 from kernel.org and the error still appears. I ran: while (true) ; do md5sum bigfile.sql ; done
bigfile.sql is around 16GB, and I ran that loop for about an hour, and here's the results: cb5714b4050178096ee5d7ebade86364 bigfile.sql f199dc20003be8f5913d38d92d0b99e3 bigfile.sql cb5714b4050178096ee5d7ebade86364 bigfile.sql aae3ef4d02ecbe21827d3d96f2179681 bigfile.sql 6edfeafe8a73ee07c075164dc93b319e bigfile.sql 55743d67dded508cacfb5abc0af016e5 bigfile.sql 889c5e708c1c884ea4efd11bdd1ff2c6 bigfile.sql Any suggestions on how to determine whether this is actually a bug and not faulty hardware?
