From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030714 Debian/1.4-2 Description of problem: When cannaserver is run, errors of this form appear. cannaserver(6612): unaligned access to 0x600000000001bc94, ip=0x4000000000026d20 cannaserver(6612): unaligned access to 0x600000000001bc94, ip=0x4000000000026d20 cannaserver(6612): unaligned access to 0x600000000001bc94, ip=0x4000000000027380 cannaserver(6612): unaligned access to 0x600000000001bc94, ip=0x4000000000027380 Seems bad to me. The hardware this was discovered on is an LP-Madison booted from a SmartArray. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Canna-3.6-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run cannaserver Actual Results: program produced several unaligned access errors as above Expected Results: program should run error-free Additional info:
What were you doing this appeared? I just ran the cannaserver with -d option to debug it on gdb, but I couldn't see any error messages.
It happens in the start-up of HP rx2600 (Longs Peak) and rx5670 (Everest) servers all the time. All you need is to boot one, but if you're in Japan, you'll need to get someone in Raleigh to do this for you... and you might need to get someone to help with debugging it remotely.
FYI: I have tracked it down and fixed it locally. it will be available as an errata.
Can this please be included in the BASE RELEASE of RHEL3???
Unfortunately no, because of the release schedule. I apologize for not fixing this earlier.
This is fixed in RHEL3 update 1
Did this fix actually make it into IA64 distros? My Canna RPMs from RHEL 3WS IA64 are -3.6-20, and neither up2date nor downloaded ISOs of RHEL3 update 2 contain anything different.
