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 0009 3215-C / noprompt 0120 3390 /var/lib/hercules/dasd/RHEL6-SAT560-s390x.120 0E20.2 3088 CTCI -n /dev/net/tun -s 255.255.255.252 192.168.200.17 192.168.200.18 2.

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 I think this bug is a little out of date and you can close it.
Thanks for the feedback, closing. Feel free to reopen.
