kernel woes

[Steven Willis]

I'm getting this error as well. I recently did a fresh re-install on
my laptop with Ubuntu and I started noticing this error on startup. I
don't think I had been getting it before. I was using 64 bit last
time, 32 this time. These seem to be the relevant lines from dmesg:

I don't really use my pcmcia card slots, but I hate seeing errors on
startup and would like to know if something is wrong.

Hi everyone,
I'm running (and have been running) a stock kernel on an R3000 with
Ubuntu for quite some time without any trouble. I've encountered some
trouble in compiling my own kernel in order to use suspend2.
I've compiled kernels before, and don't have any trouble with that part
of it, but I get some strange messages on booting. (see the end of this
message for the start of the output from dmesg). I've read the
information online regarding the pci/cardbus stuff, but I've modified
config.opts without success. Is this issue related? I'm trying to use a
2.6.15.1 kernel, and I've used my own configuration, one from another
R3000 user's website, and the wonderfully-working config that Ubuntu so
kindly set up for me. Same result either way.
Please let me know if you have any ideas! Thanks.

That's very interesting. I used your command above and got identical
messages, except the numbers in the brackets were different. This is on
a Compaq R3240. I don't have any PCMCIA cards, so I have no idea if the
thing works or not.

More interesting is the first two lines "failed to allocate memory
resource." I've been seeing that right after the Grub menu for at least
a year. No one has ever been able to tell me what it means.

Everything works perfectly on this computer running Ubuntu Feisty
amd64, except for one annoying problem. For some reason I get summarily
logged out sometimes. It's just like I hit Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc. Most
commonly it happens when opening a new tab in Firefox, but occasionally
it will happen in other programs too. When I tell Linux gurus about it
they shake their head in amazement. How could something just log you
out?

I decided to try pci=assign-busses. My R3240 with Feisty amd64 would
not start X. I got dumped to a command line.

I still get suddenly logged out about once a day. But it always happens
on a mouse click, and the more windows that are open, the more likely
it is to happen. Having multiple tabs open in Firefox is dangerous. I'm
suspecting something about the mouse driver and Gnome. If anyone has
any further suggestions, I'm all ears.

Yet I'm not having any problems whatsoever. My kernel boot line is

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash

You can see which version of the kernel I'm running, I guess. :) I'm
running the F.35 firmware (which will have an impact on the ACPI data
that the BIOS is storing, I think).

Based on the symptoms you describe, I would almost guess a memory
problem. You might try using a live CD and running the memory test
(Ubuntu, Knoppix, and Fedora have memtest86, I think?). If not, Google
for "memtest86+.bin", then add the following to

Post by John Jason Jordan
title memtest86+
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin

Of course, you'll need to adjust the "root" line to be the same as your
other "root" lines. And be sure to put the downloaded file into /boot
(again, as you would expect from the excerpt).

If you'd like a copy of my entire dmesg(1) output, send me a personal
email.
