2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you. Now running 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4 across our cluster. I have not seen a reoccurance of this issue since upgrading to 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4. I will need to observe our cluster under load for a few weeks before I can be absolutely certain that this issue is resolved. This issue has not been observed in several weeks running newer kernels. As far as I am concerned the problem is solved. great, thanks. Just an update. I upgraded to kernel 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4 today and the problem is again manifest. Either a regression, or something has triggered the problem and it was just hiding. Kernels 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 and 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4 did not exhibit the problem as far as I can tell. does the test kernel at http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC4 do any better ? The ppc64 kernel did not boot. I do not know why. We have an Apple xServe cluster using clusternodes which do not have a video card. The Fedora kernel does not have the console port driver compiled in so I do not have any way of getting feedback from the system. Testing will have to wait until I have more time in early January. This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. Thank you. It is now worse with kernel 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4 and 2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 as the therm_pm72 module is now built in. The old work around of removing and installing the module is not longer an option, and the situation persists with the load level jumping to one every once in a while and just staying there. This is too strange. After two days running with a load level of 1.0 without any apparent load (the symptom) the machine is now reporting a load level of 0.1 as it should. So the problem, although not solved, is at least eventually self-correcting. [This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs] FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to release security related updates for the kernel. As this bug is not security related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated to FC5. Please retest with Fedora Core 5. Thank you. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you. (this is a mass-close to kernel bugs in NEEDINFO state) As indicated previously there has been no update on the progress of this bug therefore I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please re-open if the issue still occurs for you and I will try to assist in its resolution. Thank you for taking the time to report the initial bug. If you believe that this bug was closed in error, please feel free to reopen this bug. |
