Hi all: I'm fairly new to linux. Lately I've been getting a lot of fatal signal 11's.
It seems to occur when my system has been up for a few days under light load or up a day under a heavier load, running some job in the background for about 24 hours. Then I get, compiling using g77 (I had been running memtest in the background for about 18 hours): gcc: Internal compiler error: program f771 got fatal signal 11 I also get this with fort77. (I know the fortran code is OK.) Trying this several more times usually results in a complete lock-up and a nasty reboot. Some of the error messages I've gotten trying to compile code are 1 general protection: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<0012398b>] EFLAGS: 00010213 eax:64746769 ebx:0180cb28 ecx:0180cb28 edx:73006569 esi:00000004 edi:00657c00 ebp:000ec5fa esp:01ff9b54 ds:0018 es:0018 fs:002b gs:002b ss:0018 process f771(pid:31229, process nr, 21 ,stackpage=01ff9000) ???? 2. hdb2: bad access: block=925712, count=1283457032... more of the same 3. Fatal Signal 11,7 I've tried memtest and memtest-86, no errors found. If I reboot I can use g77 as much as I want with no errors, but after several days I begin to see Fatal Signal 11 or if I have a cpu intensive job in the backgound for about 24 hours lots of trouble. Below is my system and some stuff from /proc ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. Is this a memory leak? How do I isolate the hardware thats causing the problem?
