Description Michal Jaegermann 2006-12-19 08:54:16 UTC 
Description of problem:

It happened when installing grub on a floppy with ext2 file system
(as described in 'info grub' and don't ask :-). I found in dmesg

WARNING at mm/truncate.c:400 invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
and
general protection fault: 0000 [1] SMP

Attached is a file with registered backtraces and a normal
dmesg output.

I cannot tell for sure that this is related but a subsequent
shutdown got stuck in 'Unmounting file systems'.  A floppy to
which I was writing got unmounted earlier without any incidents.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.19-1.2881.fc7

How reproducible:
Unknown.

Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.
