Looking on the kerneloops.org site, there seem to be a lot of ath_tx_node_cleanup errors, just like the problem that I have. This happens to me sometimes when connecting under load. Sometimes with firefox running. VirtualBox would be a good candidate. Basically anything that uses CPU. I get a similar kernel oops when waking up from suspend https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15839 In the latter case, Xorg is hogging CPU cycles. The common thread seems to be CPU usage. I suspect this relates to an earlier patch which fixed a lockdep warning. I have reverted that patch in the test kernels here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2141465 Could you give those a try and see if the oops you are seeing disappears? The kernel oops stopped happening yesterday after reporting it and has not returned. tail yum.log Apr 25 15:00:08 Updated: nautilus-2.30.0-3.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:09 Updated: nautilus-extensions-2.30.0-3.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:11 Updated: libchamplain-0.4.5-1.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:12 Updated: libchamplain-gtk-0.4.5-1.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:13 Updated: schroedinger-1.0.9-2.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:26 Updated: gcalctool-5.30.0-2.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:28 Updated: taglib-1.6.3-1.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:29 Updated: prelink-0.4.3-3.fc13.x86_64 Apr 25 15:00:31 Updated: telepathy-butterfly-0.5.9-1.fc13.noarch Apr 27 01:11:50 Installed: gpm-libs-1.20.6-9.fc13.x86_64 Apr 27 01:11:52 Installed: nss_compat_ossl-0.9.6-1.fc13.x86_64 Apr 27 01:11:53 Installed: 1:links-2.2-12.fc13.x86_64 Apr 27 08:36:26 Installed: lshw-B.02.14-3.fc12.x86_64 Went ahead and installed kernel-2.6.33.2-68.bz585072.fc13.i686.rpm and kernel-headers-2.6.33.2-68.bz585072.fc13.i686.rpm...so far there are no more errors/oopses, but I only have it installed for about 20 minutes, so I'll need to use it a bit longer before I can say for sure. OK, suggestion that I tried out seems to work...no more kernel oops problems. Alright, that at least points at the problem -- unfortunately, that patch was also fixing a problem. Hopefully we can find a solution for both issues... Scratch that last comment -- it looks like that patch was mistakenly backported to the stable kernel series for 2.6.33... So that means that the patch is no longer needed? So removing it would still have both problems solved? Yes -- that is to say that applying my patch to revert the other should resolve the issue you reported here while avoiding the problem that the problematic patch was intended to solve. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=169229 kernel-2.6.33.3-72.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.33.3-72.fc13 |
