Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-9.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download the ltp-20040108 package from ltp.sf.net 2. compile on ia32 box 3. copy over to ia64 box running AS 3 4. run 'make install' as root (installs to testcases/bin) 5. run './runalltests.sh' First test is abort01, which should crash the box Actual Results: kernel panic Additional info:
ia32 core dump support has been added for ia64 in the U2 stream. i've verfied the fix with ltp test suite.
