IBM Bug Proxy
2006-05-16 18:32:40 UTC
----- Additional Comments From marksmit.com 2006-05-17 16:49 EDT ------- As this problem was encountered on JS21 on RHEL4U3, there appears to be a patch dropped into RHEL4U3. yaboot-1.3.12/second/yaboot.c What is unique about this lpar is that it 1) recreated for the first time on a power5 systems, not JS21, and 2) there is an existing AIX install plus RHEL4 install on the disks for this lpar. Whether or not that is pertinent, I do not know, because I am not sure how far along in the netboot process we are when meeting the kernel panic. Please refer to patches by name not by file - as it's impossible to guess what you mean from the context. If you have AIX installed has it changed load-base - can you boot into OF and check that please. Also please do not switch between a bug report on rawhide/Fedora development and discussing RHEL (other than to point out regressions) as they are seperate bug streams with different processes. This bug was filed against Fedora please lets keep it focussed. Manoj - please can you try and replicate with a rawhide tree here. ----- Additional Comments From thinh.com(prefers email via th2tran.com) 2006-05-19 15:57 EDT ------- the patch name is reduce-initrd-alloc-increments.patch the link to the patch from RedHat issue tracker #85890: http://bugmail.austin.ibm.com/rhitLoginGetAttachFr.php?&bug_id=191995&fid=53180 changed:

I am unsure of the OF command syntax to discover this. If you know it, please
append; else, I will ask around.
I have verified this is easily recreatable, after booting one of the Linux
installations and after attempting the AIX installation. But in all our testing
, it only seems to recreate on this one power5 lpar.
I am changing the version on the LTC Bugzilla from FC5 to "other" to reflect
that this is found on Fedora-devel (rawhide).
The status remains the same. This continues to recreate on today's May26
snapshot of Fedora-devel.
Here is a picture of the drives and bootable partitions on this lpar.
from SMS, the 1st boot device, used to network boot:
7. 1 Ethernet
( loc=U7879.001.0395562-P1-C1-T1 )
(1. = Virtual eth, 2-5, 7-10 are physical eth NICs, 6=IDE cdrom)
from SMS, the bootable disk devices 11,12,13:
11. - SCSI 73407 MB Harddisk, part=2 (AIX 5.3.0)
( loc=U7879.001.0395562-P1-T14-L3-L0 )
12. - SCSI 73407 MB Harddisk, part=1 ()
( loc=U7879.001.0395562-P1-T14-L4-L0 )
2.6.9-20 installation
13. - SCSI 73407 MB Harddisk, part=1 ()
( loc=U7879.001.0395562-P1-T12-L3-L0 )
2.6.9-22 installation
And from open firmware: of> scsiinfo all the disks visible:
1 U7879.001.0395562-P1-T14 /pci@800000020000001/pci@2/pci1069,b166@1/scsi@0
ID 3 - 73407 MB Disk drive (bootable) (AIX 5.3.0) (VIO server)
(does not boot as floralp2 is not configured as a VIOS partition, but instead
is an RPA lpar)
ID 4 - 73407 MB Disk drive (bootable) (2.6.9-20)
4 U7879.001.0395562-P1-T12 /pci@800000020000003/pci@2,2/pci1069,b166@1/scsi@0
ID 3 - 73407 MB Disk drive (bootable) (2.6.9-22)
ID 4 - 73407 MB Disk drive
ID 5 - 73407 MB Disk drive

I am changing the version to 'devel' to properly reflect that this recreates on
rawhide.
This still recreates on the one lpar: floralp2 using today's June5 version of
rawhide.

------- Additional Comments From marksmit.com 2006-08-30 19:53 EDT -------
After loaning the victim system to Enterprise Linux testing, and getting it
back, I can no longer recreate this on floralp2 (vio server lpar, running
Linux). I will have to cancel this as unreproducible. I tried to recreate using
several versions of OS that formerly all recreated.
