Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC6 using respin 20070401 2. Then do a yum upgrade (111 packages when I did it) 3. Reboot The original Steps to Reproduce is a bit misleading. Hope the above clarifies what I did. I'm not real sure this should be a kernel bug report. Maybe the udev program is what is really causing the problem. The fact that the .20 kernel works fine with FC-5 confuses me. If somebody can tell me how to save all that status reporting after the crash and submit it, I'd be only too happy to do so. There is a *bunch* of it! I just included the first few lines. We need the full backtrace. Take a picture of the screen with a digital camera and post it as an attachment.

Try booting without the ide-scsi driver. Looks like error handling is broken for that one and there should not be any need for it anyway. Thank you for the advice. Could you tell me how to disable loading of the ide-scsi driver? I really have no clue. The error readout shows it as a module that is linked into the kernel, but I can't where the link might be. ide-scsi is usually activated by a kernel command line option like: hdc=ide-scsi Without that it shouldn't be used. The entry for FC-6 in my /boot/grub/menu.lst shows the following line for the kernel command: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2948.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ vga=791 There is no hdh=ide-scsi. That used to be used for the Sony CD-RW burner. Recent kernels apparently had it linked in "somehow"! I see in the error printout that 'ide-scsi' in among the modules linked in. Is there a way to unlink ide-scsi? Recompile the kernel? Gulp! Thanks, Steve E. I just tried to load Fedora 7. The installer crashes at the line "Loading SCSI driver". This plus the FC-6 problem is reminiscent of problems I had with the tape drive and the (old) cd burner not playing together. They both need ide-scsi emulation. My system has 7 ide devices. 4 are connected to the two master slave controllers on the mobo, the remaining three to a pci-ide adapter card by Promise Technologies. By carefully tweaking the locations of the tape drive and cd burner in the ide chain, they both worked. So as an experiment, I unplugged both the cd burner and tape drive. FC-6 with the .20 kernel now works just fine. The F-7 installer also runs like a clock! So these problems are traceable to hardware quirks in my system. However, I still think there is a bug - up till the .20 kernel, (in FC-6) everything ran fine. By the same token, my machine seems to be the only one with this problem. Google searches on the web and Bugzilla searches turned up nothing. So maybe this problem is not worth pursuing? Y'all call it. Steve E. static inline void add_timer(struct timer_list *timer) { BUG_ON(timer_pending(timer)); __mod_timer(timer, timer->expires); } (This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora! Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, since no information has been lodged for over 30 days. Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data, and thanks for filing the original report! |
