Subject: Need help debugging crazy kernel memory issue
I recently started experiencing crashes (every 1-2 days) on one of my
ScientificLinux 6.2 boxes. It appears that the machine runs out of memory,
but the memory report makes no sense.
I'm seeing it with each of the following kernels:
kernel-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-279.1.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-220.17.1.el6.x86_64 had run fine for a long time, but reverting
to it has not solved the problem. I have tried to revert all other updates
from around the time the problems started to no avail.
It seems like everything about the memory config goes screwy. Here's an info
dump from normal operation (48GB RAM, 8GB swap):

Only 1 cpu listed, memory numbers are incredibly small (180MB of RAM?! - no
wonder it is out of memory), no swap, no Normal nodes listed, etc.
It's fairly consistent, I see the same # of pages RAM each time it crashes. I
ran memcheck through test #4 with no errors.
cmdline:

Any ideas? I'm at a loss.
