Description H.J. Lu 2003-08-16 14:58:16 UTC

I found more "make check" failures in redhat gcc 3.3 under
EL 3.0 beta1 kernel. I even put 2.4.21-1.1931.2.377 on RH9.
I got new failures:

[hjl@gnu build-i686-linux]$ ./gcc/xgcc -v

I didn't see those failures under 2.4.20-19.9.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2003-08-16 19:22:38 UTC

These errors are intermitent, I saw them with various kernels and both gcc 3.2.x and
3.3.x.

Comment 2 H.J. Lu 2003-08-18 16:17:47 UTC

I believe it is a kernel/nptl related problem. When I ran "make check"
for the current glibc + nptl from CVS under the 2.4.21-1.1931.2.377 SMP
kernel on an SMP machine running RHEL 3.0 beta1, I got kernel oops during
nptl tests.

Please retest with the .393 kernel that was posted to RHN (sushi) Thursday 8/14.

2.4.21-1.1931.2.423 seems OK.

Comment 6 Matt Wilson 2003-09-26 00:06:52 UTC

closing due to reporter feedback of newer kernel being ok
