 <0>Kernel panic: Fatal exception in interrupt
In interrupt handler - not syncing

Box is a dual Pentium 3.06GHz box, with hyperthreading enabled,
running a single very heavily threaded server process taking in about
120Mbps and pushing out anywhere from 30-150Mbps.  There are no
preceeding circumstances to the panic that I can find.

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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load kernel, run server, and wait
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Machine panics

Expected Results:  Machine does not panic

still a problem with the current tree / test isos ?

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-04-16 05:51:18 UTC
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.
