Description Kawasaki Project 2003-11-27 10:34:12 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Description of problem:
Netdump times out immediately and fails around twice every 3 times.

-Environment
 Server: Red Hat Linux 9 (kernel-2.4.20-20.9).
 Client: Red Hat Linux 9 (kernel-2.4.20-20.9).

-Investigated information
 We think this occurs when cpu-counter wraps around and (t1 - t0) 
becomes minus at the following steps of timeout-judgement. At this 
time, it actually has not timed out. 

drivers/net/netconsole.c
line 171
---------------------------------------------------------- 
if (t0) {
ãif (((t1 - t0) >> 20) > mhz_cycles * (unsigned long long)
idle_timeout) {
----------------------------------------------------------

We are waiting for your investigation and measures. 
I'm sorry for my poor English.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.20-20.9

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make panic on Red Hat Linux 9.
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  System reboots without making crashdump-file.

Expected Results:  System leaves crashdump-file on panic for 
investigation.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
