Description Haruo Tomita 2003-08-11 10:18:50 UTC
Description of problem:
I tried to install 2.1ES using differet options. Panic occurs at the time of 
installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.9-e.12, kernel-2.4.9-e.24

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 2.1ES 
2.
3.
    
Actual results:
Panic occured.

Expected results:


Additional info:

kerenl 2.4.9-e.24BOOT
CPU 0
EIP 0010:[<c018d588>] Not tainted
EFLAGS 00010212
EIP is at
eax: 00000000 ebx:00000000 ecx: 00000300 edx: 00000246
esi: c02b1160 edi: 00001100 ebp: 00000040 esp: cfd85d70

I think that a problem is in initialization of a cdrom driver. 
Panic will not be carried out when adapted in this patch.

Handle allocation errors and zero fill new blocks.

Comment 4 Haruo Tomita 2006-02-04 00:58:16 UTC
I think that the cause is in 0 initialization. Your patch is correct. 
The tester of Toshiba will evaluate the corrected kernel. 


Comment 5 Don Howard 2006-04-03 21:13:22 UTC
Did Toshiba have any testing results that could be posted here?

Comment 6 Paul Gampe 2006-09-05 21:34:18 UTC
Setting the release flag so this can be included in the review process.

Thank you. 
Please upload the update kernel of the correction version. The tester of 
Toshiba will execute confirming the operation with the machine where the issue 
occurs. And, I report on the result.

A test kernel is available at http://people.redhat.com/dhoward/bz102095/
This build is intended only for testing, and is not officially supportable.

The test kernel worked correctly. If kernel-BOOT-2.4.9-e.71.bz102095.i386.rpm 
is a kernel for the installation, this issue will be solved.

QE ack for 2.1 maintenance delivery.

Comment 17 Mike Gahagan 2006-12-19 20:33:19 UTC
The fix is in and already tested by the partner.
