Code: Bad EIP Value <1> unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
 

Hi All

I had Red Hat Linux 9.0 running

One evening the power was shutdown and automatically my Linux machine was unproperly shutdown

When I restarted my machine I was not able to restart

I get the following errors

Code: Bad EIP value
<1>Unable to handle Kernel paging request at virtual address 8490119e

Code: Bad EIP Value
<0> Kernel Panic: Attempted to Kill init

Why is this error coming I am not able to get into my machine

I als tried with my Linux Boot Disk but still not able to get into my machine

Kindly anyone please guide me how to solve this problem


Thanks and Regards

You probably have a stack pointer misaligned somewhere. Did you build this kernel yourself? You could have left some necessary things out of your kernel build or your kernel boot command line's options may be set up wrong.

Hi

I did nothing
I did not copile my kernel

The machine was not able to boot after a power shutdown

I did not do anything

Hi,

have you figured out how to go about with the problem you encountered ?
i also got the same problem.
i'm using the original kernel version that comes with RH9.0 since i cant just upgrade my kernel because the driver for my SCSI card only supports the default kernel.

regards,

you may have corrupted your boot image, some of its files, or during the power outage it screwed up some of your memory.

Bad thing is unless you figure it out and fix it, someone may suggest reinstalling.
(OR try and replace your memory sticks they may have gottien shocked to hell)

I have this problem now and it doesn't appear to be kernel related since I get it no matter what I boot from. It started with my Debian installation, then I tried a drive with Ubuntu installed, and I've tried the Debian and Ubuntu install CDs. Same problem all around.

Just as a follow-up to my last post. No Linux distro, whether it's on a hard drive or CD, will boot on my computer but I put in a Freesbie live CD and it boots and every thing seems to work normally.

It also boots with DOS and a BartPE WinXP CD. There must be some broken hardware bit that Linux chokes on that FreeBSD and WinXP handle differently.

I don't understand it, I've been using Linux on this computer for at least two years.
