[rhn-users] critical bug with RH EL 3.0 & 2.4.21-9.0.1 kernel

[Alex Lyashkov]

Hi All

I try to use RH EL 3.0 with last kernel from http://updates.redhat.com
and found strange bug.

Hardware 
> Intel PIV with 1G RAM
Kernel 2.4.21-9.0.1 with default i686 config maked via 
> rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686  kernel-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.src.rpm

It`s kernel can be used in machines with up to 4G RAM but it not work.
You can run simple script and see if modules loaded to address 0xFxxxxx
kernel had panic.

simple script
find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "*.o" -exec insrmmod {} \; 

where insrmmod:
#!/bin/sh 
echo Loading module $1... 
insmod $1 
echo Module $1 has loaded 
echo Releasing module $1... 
rmmod $1 echo Module $1 has released

kernel with hugmem config runnig fine.
