Description Marty Phelan 2008-07-03 15:13:49 UTC
Description of Problem:

After loading the NUT ups driver (/sbin/upsdrvctl start) the kernel will crash
within less than 1 minute. All network connections are severed. If I leave the
console screen displayed (Ctrl-Alt-F1) before I load UPS controller, I can see
the kernel dump (many pages using shift-PageUp/Down). Ctrl-Alt-Del at this point
causes total lockup and I must use hard reset or power off to reboot.

The NUT driver configuration is:
[TL-OMNI1000LCD]
	driver = usbhid-ups
	port = auto
	desc = "TrippLite Omni 1000"

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

nut-2.2.2-1.fc9
kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9 & kernel-2.6.25.6-55.fc9

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connected TrippLite Omni 1000 to USB port
2. Power up and boot machine
3. At console: /sbin/upsdrvctl start
4. Wait 1-2 minutes

Actual results:
Kernel crashes with BUG...

Expected results:
normal operation

Additional info:
Please request any additional information.

Thanks,
Marty

Comment 1 Tomas Smetana 2008-07-04 13:11:30 UTC
This looks very strange -- usbhid-ups is probably the most frequently used nut
driver and no such problem has ever been reported.  I believe this a kernel
problem.  Reassigning.

Comment 2 Chuck Ebbert 2008-07-09 21:05:36 UTC
We need to see the entire BUG message. Boot with option vga=1 or vga=792 and
take a picture of the screen with a camera if you have to.

Screen photos after crash

Crash dumped many screen pages every 30-60 seconds. I tried to get as many as I
could before system totally locked up.

Comment 4 Marty Phelan 2008-07-14 17:07:05 UTC
I also tried to duplicate the problem on another machine (same kernel/os etc),
but could not replicate it. Only difference was the processor (Intel). The
machine that is crashing is an Athlon XP 2500+.

Comment 11 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 01:54:13 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 12 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 15:52:15 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
