Engineering is waiting on the output from the latest IT post requesting the dmesg output. The kernel rpms can be downloaded from http://people.redhat.com/dledford/st_tape_test/ A new set of test kernel RPMs have been posted to the same place as before. These include the fix for the sg+st write bug and one other tweak that might help with this problem. Please test these out and let me know the results. NEEDINFO_REPORTER does not seem to be the correct state for this, moving back to ASSIGNED. A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U7 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-37.6.EL). *** Bug 156396 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0144.html I tested RC1 of Update 7 and it is causing the same panic. The hotfix provided a few months back did resolve the issue and several customers are using it without problems. Josef, Can you tell me the kernel version on the U7 RC1 system you're using? I want to make sure it should have had the fix incorporated into it. 2.4.21-40.EL I obtained the Update from the FTP location here: ftp://partners.redhat.com/45cf7905562e922e7817d4a01ca8be26/RHEL3-U7/ (In reply to comment #71) josef, let's move this thread to bug 182996 because this current bug was for RHEL 3 U7 and bug 182996 is for RHEL 3 U8. Let's consider this CLOSED and bug 182996 as a regression to the "fix". Fixing bug's disposition (reverting to ERRATA). |
