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.
Description of problem:
I have detected a problem (see a attachment, it is abrt report) with
Posgresql on Hercules (emulator of s390x).
I have tried to install Satellite 5.6.0 (using Postgresql) and the
installation failed during a populate database (Postgresql crashed).
We test Satellite on s390x (non-emulated) and this problem is not here
(it occures only on hercules).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Guest:
RHEL6.4 (s390x)
postgresql-8.4.13-1.el6_3.s390x
Host:
RHEL6.4 (x86_64)
hercules-3.08-1.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install hercules on host and create configuration for guest
> cat /etc/hercules/RHEL6.cnf
CPUSERIAL 002623 # CPU serial number
CPUMODEL 7490 # CPU model number: 3090, 7490, 2064
MAINSIZE 2048 # Main storage size in megabytes
NUMCPU 4 # Number of CPUs
HTTPPORT 8083 # enable a HTTP server on this port
OSTAILOR LINUX # OS tailoring
LOADPARM 0120.... # IPL parameter
IODELAY 0 # modern kernels do not need a delay
ARCHMODE ESAME # Architecture mode S/370, ESA/390 or ESAME
TZOFFSET +0100 # Central Europe
MODPATH /usr/lib64/hercules
LDMOD hdt3088.so hdt3420.so hdt3505.so

2. Create disk for guest
> mkdir -p /var/lib/hercules/dasd/
> dasdinit -z -lfs -r /var/lib/hercules/dasd/RHEL6-SAT560-s390x.120 3390-27
3. install guest (look at http://www.hercules-390.eu/)
4. install Satellite 5.6.0 with Postgresql on guest
Actual results:
Installation fails (Postgresql crashed)
Expected results:
Installation does not fail

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Martin pointed me to machine where that could be reproduced, but I was not able
to reproduce it through satellite installer (it hanged for several hours..).
Martin, can we find a bit more self-standing reproducer without satellite?
I'm interested in this bug because if something fails in emulator, it might be
really buggy and we might face that somewhere else later on (that is the
original reason why this bug has been opened, we agreed with Martin on it).
Otherwise, if we don't have easy reproducer I'm not against closing this
NOTABUG/WORKSFORME.
This is presented as PostgreSQL crash, but we don't have a reason (which might
be found in postgresql logs).
Hi Pavel,
We use this scenario (installation process) on s390x in beaker and I never see this bug.
Because I no longer use Hercules and satellite has got many errata in last 3 years (maybe it is a reason why we aren't able to reproduce it).
I think this bug is a little out of date and you can close it.
