Humm :-) I tend to find that hardly acceptable that people can crash so easily a system. > David Mosberger tells me Tony Luck changed the support in > 2.6 such that only valid regions are accessible.

You might check if Bjorn Helgaas' ia64 patch on top of 2.4.21 > fixes the same problem. Excuse-me I meant Bjorn's patch on top of 2.4.21. And yes it's crashing the same way with the latest I tried (linux-2.4.21-ia64-030702.diff.bz2). Of course, being of no help to provide a valid one, I can't cry if you say it's not easy/possible on 2.4 ;-) Thanks for your answer, Bruno. -- Linux Solution Consultant Tél: +33 476 143 278 - Fax: +33 476 146 105 HP/Intel Solution Center http://hpintelco.net Hewlett-Packard Grenoble/France Des infos sur Linux? http://www.HyPer-Linux.org http://www.hp.com/linux La musique ancienne? http://www.musique-ancienne.org http://www.medieval.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Tue Jul 22 09:31:44 2003
