Description

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. Of course, I've not seen this again, but then does this really count as a fix?: -CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y -CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS=y -CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y -CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y +# CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is not set +# CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS is not set +# CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is not set +# CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is not set And was the actual bug itself really fixed from 2.6.18-1.2189.fc5 to 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5? Seems unlikely (although I'm told the ext3 bug was, which is nice). Might be reasonable to needinfo bugs when a new major version is out, but not when you've rebuilt to switch the debugging features off that allow the problem to be detected in the first place. I'm going to look into offering separate -debug kernels soon in addition to the regular ones, which will allow retesting of problems like this. As to whether this got fixed. Probably not in the Fedora kernel, but it may have subsequently got fixed upstream, Eric might know. Yep xfs guys have a fix for most of these: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2007-04/msg00177.html I don't see it in linus' tree yet though - it will get there eventually. at least by rawhide, some of these are fixed. there are still xfs lockdep reports out there which have more to do w/ lockdep not grokking xfs than any real problems. The sgi guys continue to find ways to annotate around it, if for no other reason than to stop the flow of reports :) |
