Hi List,
On one of our CentOS 5 (x64_86) servers, identical to a number of other systems, I'm seeing some processes / services failing to run, along with the following error in /var/log/messages:
Mar 2 23:25:07 someHostname kernel: wrapper-linux-x[24448] general protection rip:805386e rsp:ffc20390 error:0 Mar 2 23:25:09 someHostname kernel: dsm_sa_datamgr3[5063] general protection rip:f7f86e7c rsp:f5aab30c error:0 Mar 3 09:57:54 someHostname kernel: dcecfg32[1993] general protection rip:b9c71a rsp:ffa20568 error:0 Mar 6 09:38:59 someHostname kernel: omreport[15107] general protection rip:af597a rsp:ffdccad0 error:0
I've Googled a bit, but don't see any clear consistent explanation. Does anyone have any pointers as to what is causing this? Faulty hardware? I ran memtester, but it didn't find any issue with the memory it was able to test.
Thanks, Jeff

"general protection" is a general protection fault, also known as a segfault. "rip" is RIP, the 64-bit instruction pointer.
Long story short, you have severe hardware issues somewhere.
