Description Adam Bowns 2004-10-05 23:39:34 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7)
Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3

Description of problem:
I left my system for a while, when I returned it had crashed and
required a reboot. I have attached the oops and trace as a separate
file. If I can provide you with anything else let me know.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.8-1.521

How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Additional info:

Kernel is stock apart from the following patches: -

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-mm3/broken-out/bio_uncopy_user-mem-leak.patch

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.8.1/2.6.8.1-mm3/broken-out/bio_uncopy_user-mem-leak-fix.patch

these were essential to fix the memory leak and disk corruption when
burning audio cd's with the 2.6.8.1 kernel.

please try the latest errata kernel. a large number of vm fixes are included.
Comment 3 Adam Bowns 2004-11-21 00:33:05 UTC 
I've not managed to reproduce it since. So like you say, its probably
been fixed. If I come across it again, I will let you have the latest
info.

I *think* I've found the cause of this bug, the terminator has gone
missing from the end of my scsi cable (god knows how or where its
gone). So I would guess that this is the cause of the problem. If I
experience this again (with proper termination), I will reopen the bug.
