I am having the strangest of problems. I am using a customized real time kernel 2.6.26 (the only changes are the real time add on, the rest is vanilla, config taken from the Debian Lenny standard install).
Now I remember having had kernel panics (like 3 a day) some months ago. I now worked for like 2 months without a single crash.
Now, they are back and it is really annoying, since I have NO IDEA what could be causing he problem.
The only difference now is that I am on a wired ethernet interface and while I was panic free, I used a wireless all the time.
How can I find out what is causing the panic? When the panic strikes, there is nothing I can do or see. the Caps lock is flashing obviously. Is there a way to do a dump of the error when the crash occurs?
In the meanwhile, it has become much worse, I get a kernel panic now about every 10 minutes. Normal working is impossible. What a headache!
I don't get it. Nothing changed, eveything is the same and now for some reason, the kernel has become totally insane.
I wish Linux would at least be able to show a blue screen, instead of just dieing. Like this, I got NOTHING to go on. I am right now waiting for the next crash, I hope I can still send this. DARN!!!
I am pretty sure it was the filesystem, after I did a fsck, it was all good. I just wish you could see a kernel panic the way you can in Windows, instead of the whole machine freezing and nothing to go on, no information about WHAT crashed on the screen.
