I get a reproducable kernel error message when I try to compile
gcc-2.3.3. The problem occurs in the next step:
cc -c -DIN_GCC -g -I. -I./config cp-parse.c
I get a huge amount of messages like:
Feb 25 21:56:20 r06 /386bsd: error 5 blkno 9704 sz 4096
swap_pager_finish: clean of page 51c000 failed
I have a 486DX33 system with 8MB memory and use a `self-made' kernel
including all patches from the 0.2.1 patchkit except for 504 and 600.
I don not use a separate swap partition at the moment. I have located
the swap_pager_finish() function in /sys/vm. Patches in this area are:
75 unmatched spl() call in VM system
74 pages lost in VM system
63 kernel speedup
07 Greenman bugfix
02 big memeory hang
Which patch could cause this trouble? I must admit that the system has
hardware (?) problems with MSWindows3.1 (spontaneous reboots) but with
UNIX it worked stable so far. Which wizzard can enlighten me?
