RE: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 3b617b05

[Sunny Zhou]

Yesterday I got the same problem. I believe your hard disk is SCSI
interface, and you are using 2.4.x kernel, right?
I reduced my swapping space to 600MB and it worked(at least
yesterday).
Don't know why.

Subject: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
3b617b05 (was Re: swap_free: swap-space map bad (entry 00000100) )

Hi again,

I change the kernel (now 2.2.19) and I still have the same problem.
It
begin by a "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual
address"

And it strange, the machine rebooted by itself.
And after the reboot, the second disk was rebuilding (the machine is
in
RAID mirroring)

Do you have an idea of the problem ?

Help would be very nice (The server is remote and I can't change
hardware
easily, that's why before replacing the server I want to know what
could
explain my problem)

Thanks
