Hi Martin, > I am have been building a Fedora 20 image for the XO4, and I am seeing > memory corruption problems while running yum in these images (please check > the logs [1,2]).
The logs don't mean anything to me. What device are you running it on, how much memory, do you have swap enabled? > To give you some context, we are using olpc-os-builder (master [3]) with > fc20 repositories plus a few hand-crafted packages such as the kernel, > systemd and xorg, taken from previous Daniel Narvaez efforts [4,5]. > > These crashes happens randomly when yum is running, by calling yum update or > when olpc-os-build is installing system packages. Yum isn't the most memory friendly, and some of the post update scripts aren't either, you need to make sure there's enough memory/swap. > James Cameron, who spent some time researching about this issue, speculates > that this problem could be caused by: (a) using older kernel that was > compiled (possibly) with different options compared to f20's, or (b) a > faulty glibc library. > > I was wondering if this could be related to something else, something more > specific to yum or python arm binaries (?). Unlikely, I've not seen issues elsewhere. But I need more details. > I would sincerely appreciate any guidance you can provide to start > discarding possibilities and try to debug this issue. > > Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! What version of OOB are you using, and what config files? I can try and recreate the problem here on other devices.
