Description Ben McCann 2008-02-07 11:29:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

Kernel panic in (apparently) IPv6 network stack during installation onto a
VMWARE virtual machine configured with NAT networking. I'll attach a screen shot
but, unfortunately, some of the kernel oops is truncated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 9 Alpha 1 Live CD

How reproducible:

Hit this on 2 of 4 boots of the Live CD.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure VMWARE virtual machine with NAT networking (which may not be
important).
2. Boot live CD into virtual machine.
3. Kernel sometimes panics after boot completes and login prompt is presented.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

Due a separate vmware bug in the graphical installer, the install fortunately
stays in text mode. Otherwise I bet the result would be a hung install.

Comment 4 petrosyan 2008-08-12 22:59:06 UTC 
The information we've requested above is required in order
to review this problem report further and diagnose or fix the
issue if it is still present.  Since it has been thirty days or
more since we first requested additional information, we're assuming
the problem is either no longer present in the current Fedora release, or
that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem.

Setting status to "CLOSED INSUFFICIENT_DATA".  If you still
experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora
release and can provide the information previously requested,
please feel free to reopen the bug report.

Thank you in advance.
