RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Can you try booting with reboot=a as a kernel parameter?

reboot=a causes normal reboot, and panic does not show up.
Hello, Intel
I have tried to reproduce this bug on both a IBM x3550 and an Intel SDP system, but failed.
Could I have your tested system model? If we does not have one in house, would you please help us test this patch?
Thanks,
Botu Sun

Sorry, I was on a leave last week.
Nothing changed so far and new bios does not resolve problem. Sometimes panic does not occur but machine hangs after "Restarting System" message (ie. in the same place as panic appears).

Thanks a lot, Przemyslaw.
Could I have the exactly build label that you used to test in Comment 20?
