Description Vivek Goyal 2009-03-11 13:51:14 UTC

Description of problem:

Sometimes I have noticed that in rhts  	"/kernel/drivers/modules" test failed because removal
of "kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-55.EL" kernel rpm after the test failed.

Remove kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-34.EL kernel
Remove kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-42.EL kernel
Remove kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-55.EL kernel
error: %preun(kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-55.EL.ppc64) scriptlet failed, exit status 0
make: *** [run] Terminated
Terminated

This has been noticed only on this particular powerpc machine only.

ibm-l4b-lp1.test.redhat.com

Paul had tried taking machine out of rhts and reproduce the problem, but he was unsuccessful.

Here are the rhts logs.

Still not in RHTS yet.

Comment 3 Kevin W Monroe 2009-12-01 22:10:50 UTC

Reassigning to Steve Best, the new IBM on-site partner.

All,

Testing /kernel/drivers/modules with largesmp-2.6.9-90.EL on   
ibm-l4b-lp1.rhts.eng.rdu.redhat.com:
 http://rhts.redhat.com/cgi-bin/rhts/jobs.cgi?id=178166

Kernel 2.6.9-90.EL installed and /kernel/drivers/modules was run on 
ibm-l4b-lp1.rhts.eng.rdu.redhat.com without issue 5x.


Best,
-pbunyan
