An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you. |
Description of problem: Newly installed fc3 with all updates as of 2004-12-22. In run-level 3 started an slattach, ifconfig, attempted to use the resultant serial port, then killed -9 the job. The hardware is a new IBM xSeries 306. Immediately got the following screen (this info is typed in, not copy-and-paste): EFLAGS: 00010202 (2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp) EIP is at sl_tx_timeout+0x40/0xd3 [slip] eax: 00000000 ebx: 21776400 ecx: 023b3fbc edx: 022f1841 exi: 21776640 ebi: 21776640 ebp: 023b3fcc esp: 023b3fa4 ds: 007b es: 007b ss; 0068 Process swapper (pid: 0, threadinfo=023b3000 task=0230aa60) Stack: 022f1841 21776400 02278128 03407760 02278181 022f1841 21776400 21776400 02127254 00000246 023b3fcc 023b3fcc 0000000a 00000001 0237b88 0000000a 00000000 02123eb8 02379f94 00000046 023a4184 0046a007 021802a9 Call Trace: [<02278128>] dev_watchdog+0x0/0x91 [<02278181>] dev_watchdog+0x59/0x91 [<02127254>] run_timer_softirq+0x123/0x145 [<02123eb8>] __do_softirq+0x4c/0xb1 [<021082a9>] do_softirq+0x4f/0x56 ========================= [<021162fb>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0xd9/0xdd [<021040e5>] mwait_idle+0x33/0x42 [<0210409d>] cpu_idle+0x26/0x3b [<0237a784>] start_kernel+0x194/0x198 Code: 01 0f 84 aa 00 00 00 8b 43 24 8b 73 64 a8 82 0f 84 9c 00 00 00 a1 a0 c8 30 02 2b 43 4c 2d 20 4e 00 00 0f 88 89 00 00 00 0b 46 04 <8b> 50 04 ff 92 d4 00 00 00 85 c0 75 0b 83 7e 2c 00 b8 30 25 ab <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel: kernel-2.6.9-1.681_Fc3smp slattach: net-tools-1.60-37 udev: udev-039019.FC3.6 How reproducible: Could not reproduce. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start kernel in run-level 3 (I set it both in /boot/grub/ and /etc/inittab) 2. Login as normal user, su to root. 3. Execute "/sbin/slattach -p slip -s 115200 /dev/tty0 &" 4. Noted via statserial that CTS was not asserted. 4. Switched to another window, logged in, and attempted to send many packets to port. 5. kill -9 of the above pid Actual results: See kernel panic dump Expected results: System to kill job and continue processing. Additional info: If I did a startx, started a terminal (in fvwm 2.5.10, if it matters), then did the slattach in the foreground and hit CTRL-C, then I lost all keyboard functionality until I exited X every time. However, I could not reproduce the kernel panic.
