[Nix-dev] kernel oops [aufs + squashfs] on nixos-graphical-0.1pre29826-i686-linux.iso

[Paul Dufresne]

Ok... I look a bit more at my oops.

They always happend about 1.5 seconde after the login prompt come on
the installation CD.

Process is almost always different.

The part that does not change looks like this:
panic
oops_end
no_context
__bad_area_nosemaphore
do_page_fault
bad_area_nosemaphore
do_page_fault
__bet_blk
do_page_fault
error_code +0x66/0x6c
do_page_fault
squashfs_read_data
squashfs_cache_get

Basically, it happens always in a page fault that happens while getting cache.

But then, I begin to ask myself:
Could it be that they are using my other Linux swap file on my hard
drive, and that somehow it would not be compatible?

But then I began to ask myself... Why is swapping activated when I am
on a login prompt of my installation disk???

Where would they be swapping by this time... to a tmpfs? That is in
RAM. Would be strange!

And here why I am writing this message... because I don't know... I
don't understand.
