Description of problem: After installing and a fews hours on the HP Vectra computer, the Linux freeze. It still answer to ping, but all services (even console) doesn't reply. I had that problem using test3(which did output information when frozen) but someone from #fedora told he the final would work fine. But it dont, sorry I havent submit a bug repport instead. Let me know if I can do anything to give you more information. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 2 final (Test 3 also) How reproducible: Install Fedora Core 2 on a HP Vectra. and wait Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora core 2 (I use minimal install) 2. Wait Actual results: Everything freeze Expected results: Should continue to work Additional info:
I just tryed again on a Compaq EVO D510 (P4 1.5) and same probleme. I wonder if it might be the traffic on our local network that just make the kernel hang. I'll reboot the machine and let it unplug from the network and see.
Wakeonlan make the kernel FREEZE.... NOT GOOD
What network chips are these two machines using ?
thet both use the e100 driver
I tryed it again on my Evo (by tcpdump > to the HD) and once the pc crash, it wont boot again anymore, Bios dont detect the Harddrive. Not good, Going to try another harddrive soon and see if it just HD or machine are is dead Marc
HD Dead, Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 20gig ATA/133HD. Viva warrenty. This problem really cause alot of bad thing. Hope you can fix it.

Those are UDP broadcasts not wake on lan packets as far as I can see. As to the disk, Linux has no way of breaking the disk - thats just chance occurence.
well those are the packets another linux machine capture from the network card. As for linux breaking the HD.. May be it just bad luck, but it not old machine and on 550 PC, it would be the first that does that over here. I'l attach a dump file that work from the HP machine (up until it crashed)
Created attachment 100424 [details] tcpdump -i eth0 -vv -n > dump.info From the HP Vectra PC FC2 (Minimal install)
Created attachment 100425 [details] tcpdump -i eth0 -vv -n > dump2.info (test 2) From the HP Vectra PC FC2 (Minimal install) (Another test)
I did a manual wake-on-lan on the Linux MAC and it crash. I tryed other MAC and it was fine.
Is there any update on this ? I can't put that box live if it vulnerable to DoS attack
At the moment I can't duplicate it on any e100 hardware I have nor can find any reference to the same problem anywhere else on the internet. That makes it kind of hard to fix.
Ok here my new testing : rmmod e100 after system is booted, and doing wakeonlan again, and system still crash But I just thought to REMOVE ACPI and APM (linux acpi=off apm=off at boot time) and it fine, doesn't crash anymore. Want the wakeonlan program I use, I open source, but I lost the source :(
I think this sound a bit like the 129103 bug lots of folks seem to be ancountering on stock core 2 2.6.5-1.358 hangs our ibm e server pentium 4 . No console or login services work from then on but we can ping the box.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
