Description Runwalsoft 2009-12-07 04:24:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
Sorry for unable to provide the boot.log file as its not created. My Problem is that I am using Compaq Presario v6000 laptop. F11 was bootting properly. F12 having some botting problem. Everytime when I start machine it gives me following errors.
-----
starting udev: udev_work[349] '/sbin/modprobe_b pci:'xxxxxxxxxx03i00' unexpected exit with status 0x000b

**** glibc detected **** (bin/bash: malloc(); memory corruption (fast) 0x0927e0e0

-----
Some time I get different message
-----
-udevd[344]:worker[359] unexpectedly return with status 0x000b
udevd[344]:worker[359] failed while handling '/devices/virtual/tty/tty6'

------
Then I forcefully switch off computer. and again start i get udev crash error then again I have to forcefully switch off. and again start then everything working smoothly like nothing happens previously. and boot.log shows normal operation.

Once machine is started and if I restart then I don't get error. This is generally happens only when I switch off machine and wait for more than 15 minutes. and started I got above error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I don't know which version you want. If you provide me some commands to run then I can able to message you versions.

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch of machine for more than 15 minutes. and start it.
2. You will see one of about error. and forcefully boot then we again see different error message.
3.
  
Actual results:
udev : suppose to work normally without problem. 

Expected results:
udev started         [OK]

Additional info:
I am really irritated with this error. so hard to bare long days for patch.

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2009-12-23 12:07:24 UTC 
seems like your computer is broken in some way... harddisk or memory...
Comment 5 Runwalsoft 2009-12-23 13:15:50 UTC 
Please will you assist with some set of command so that I can able to check it. but one thing is sure that I have used fedora 10 for 1 month then fedora 11 for 2 weeks and when upgraded to fedora 12 then from the first day I am facing this error. I am still 80% sure that its software problem.

Because this machine is quite newer. I have taken just 1.5 years before. and used like a my bank account :). is their any way to check memory or harddisk ? as I have removed dvd from this laptop. 

I thought says that if my machine(memory) is corrupted then after 3rd boot machine have to crashed. but that's not happenning. so its not corruption problem.

Tomorrow I will take mobile video so that you will understand how hard for me to face this problem. 

Thanks for your response.

I mean to say F10 working smoothly , F11 working smoothly and F12 problem started so I have reported.
