I checked the syslog. Yesterday there were about a dozen of these events,
apparently randomly distributed through the day.
In syslog, each starts with a line
Bad page state at prep_new_page (in process <process>, page <page>)
followed by some debugging (?) information, and then ends with the line about
rebooting required. Most of the events referred to different processes, but
there were some duplications.
Any thoughts?
Paul
The emerg message starts with the same comment about Bad page
I think it may be time to give the system a night off, and run memtest86
on it over night. It may be that the page table got corrupted,
(unusual!) but it may also be a memory stick that is going bad, or other
hardware problems. In any case, you are going to keep getting these
error messages until you reboot.
If you can not afford to have the system down for a night, at least
reboot it, and see if the problems go away. If they come back, then
definitely run a memory test on it.
