Known, fixes have been in the master version for a while but didnt make 2.6.8 Just an update I have tried the following kernels with the same results, e.g. kernel oops: 2.6.8-1.521 2.6.8-1.525 2.6.8-1.526 It would seem as Alan Cox commented that fixes aren't going to make it to any version of 2.6.8. Steve Romero Real Name - Steve Romero An update to this problem: It would seem that test kernel kernel-2.6.8-1.532.x86_64.rpm does solve the oops problem. However it would also seem that something is not quite right. While this kernel is running my network switch (Linksys Gigabit 8 port) is in constant activity, and GKrellm also indicates this. But I can't ping any other workstation on my network nor can I ping my gateway (Zyxel P-641), nor can I telnet into the gateway? Further running ifconfig indicates large numbers (hundreds of them!) of Tx and Rx errors, and I might add this is right after a reboot so the only activity should have been while (trying?) connecting to the network time server and checking yum for updates? I'm not sure if there is anything else at this point that I can provide but if there is please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to accomodate. Steve Romero It would seem that kernel 2.6.8-1.598 has corrected the problem. I've been using it now for several days and it seems stable. A big thanks to all involved. Steve Romero Hi, I went through the exact same steps as you did on my Abit AV8. The current kernels do indeed work nicely with this NIC, so I'd suggest closing this bug. Thanks from me to the developers as well. Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: Shutting down system with any Kernel later than 2.6.6-1.435 which has the via_velocity ethernet driver enabled will crash the system in a very ugly manner. Unable to get any output from the crash as nothing shows up in the log files. However this is what I was able to copy from the screen: Code: 48 8B 80 78 01 00 00 48 85 C0 74 1C 48 8B 40 10 48 85 C0 74 RIP <FFFFFFFFA011A19A> {:via_velocity: velocity_netdev_event+23} RSP <0000010009155B10> ER2: 0000000000B44A00 This occurs with the following kernels: 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 2.6.7-1.517 2.6.8-1.520 This would appear to be related to bug 129343. System configuration: Abit KV8 Pro 2 X 512 PC 3200 2 X Segate 160 GB SATA Drives Gforce Ti 4600 Lite-On DVDRW 3Com 3C905B Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel 2.6.7+ How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install any of the listed kernels 2.Shut system down 3.Kernel pukes! Expected Results: If there was a problem the system should have gracefully died! And should have left something behind in the log files. Additional info:
