- Subject: zalloc panic's -- any ideas?
- Lines: 31
-
-
- I'm having problems with a NeXT server machine panic'ing the kernel
- (Read: Crash & Burn).
-
- The server is crashing with messages 'zone "objects" empty' 'receiver
- buffer overrun' and 'panic: (CPU 0) zalloc' when the panic occurs.
-
- Have any of you ever heard of anything like this? I mean obviously some
- zone is becoming fully allocated and something wants to allocate more --
- but what, from where??? My problem is that right now I have no idea
- where the panic is coming from. (Possibilities include everything from
- some strange flakyness with NFS to perhaps a problem with the modem
- being set right for dialing in...)
-
-
- On a related note -- would anyone know what can mess up /etc/utmp???
- When I dialed in (this server is 300 miles away -- joy ;-( ) about an
- hour before the latest panic, I noticed that finger was returning warped
- information about who was logged in, and for how long they had been
- logged in....
-
-
- Any ideas???
