Basic Machine configuration: SMP Supermicro board 2 gigabytes of ECC Registered ram Adaptec AIC-7892 eepro100 onboard nic The machine has been running as a database server with no MySQL crashes for several months and has run fine with kernels 2.2.18 and 2.4.1ac3. We have seen a HUGE improvement in the processing power and file access from kernel 2.4.1ac3 to 2.4.1ac8, but MySQL crashes every few hours with the following error on 2.4.1ac8: mysqld version: 3.23.32 mysqld got signal 11; The manual section 'Debugging a MySQL server' tells you how to use a stack trace and/or the core file to produce a readable backtrace that may help in finding out why mysqld died Attemping backtrace. You can use the following information to find out where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went terribly wrong Bogus stack limit or frame pointer, aborting backtrace With 2.4.1.ac8 syslog has been spitting out the following errors: Feb 8 23:12:38 db1 kernel: __alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed.
