My first page fault!
« on: April 09, 2006, 04:44:17 pm »
*nod*

I was trying to reboot, tty0 went absofuckinglutely insane, I rebooted on tty1, BAM, page fault, 2 chunks (255 MB) dumped.

:D

I swear, something is wrong with this laptop. It's soooooooooooooo slow. Slow slow slow. I may run memtest86 in a bit...

On a side note, I got Opera working. :)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Generally pagefaults are common things..why would it cause the OS to panic? This hapened with Win9x too, don't know why they'd treat it as such unless they don't reap the benefits.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Probably if the OS had the pagefault. 

It's not terribly likely that it's Linux's fault, since I've never seen that happen.  Could be some bad memory that corrupted data?

Yea I never thought of that, probably why. Although it should just load it's on disk memory as well..actually I wouldn't think that this would be ring specific. They store pages (probably) using their physical format in memory so all permission bits are there. I'm guessing it Page faulted in a sticky area.
