But when I try to use the ide-cdrom the system carsh with such oops:
Backtrace:
 [<000000001017e0d8>] drain_array_locked+0x98/0x148
 [<000000001017e2c4>] cache_reap+0x13c/0x2b0

 [<000000001010647c>] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x24/0x38

maybe this will help:

but we are seeing some of these slab errors with this build that are

not

cdrom related too... :(

mmm On the N4k with some 2.6.9-rc2-pa6 release, I lso noticed a crash

with

IAOQ refering to free_block () (eventhought that this system loop all

the

night to make -j4 vmlinux without any pb; I just stop the loop and restart
it later and ... panic() ?)

can you try compiling with slab debug (under kernel debugging)?

Of course and btw I will rebuild a 2.6.9-rc2-pa_7_ for the N4k too and

a

32b for a b180 and a chroot disk to test the new Carlos glibc build ;)

Well, I test the 2.6.9-rc2-pa7 with slab debug (before Matthew added sys
call) and build this kernel in a loop (now about 30 loop) without pb just
