This is a kernel netfilter problem. Assigning to kernel. I also encounter this bug. In attempting to reproduce, I stumbled upon a way to oops the kernel by unloading and reloading iptables modules. I've opened a bugzilla entry against the kernel at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5248 Don't know for sure if it's the same issue or not, but I've definitely seen this too... A workaround for this appears to be: service network restart Seems to free up whatever the modprobe is waiting on... This bug is filed against RHEL 3, which is in maintenance phase. During the maintenance phase, only security errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be released for enterprise products. Since this bug does not meet that criteria, it is now being closed. For more information of the RHEL errata support policy, please visit: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/ If you feel this bug is indeed mission critical, please contact your support representative. You may be asked to provide detailed information on how this bug is affecting you. |
