From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Bad: When compiling rrdtool-1.0.48 (as downloaded from rrdtool.org) the kernel panics with a fatal exception during the compile (not the ./configure) phase. Bad: This happens everytime, even after errata updates as of 6/24/04. Good: after a reboot, if I go into the same build directory and, without doing a 'make clean', do a make I get a compile error without a kernel panic. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-15.0.2.ELsmp, perl-5.8.0-88.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with a RHEL AS v3 update 2 system for AMD64 2. download rrdtool-1.0.48 from rrdtool.org 3. run configure script for rrdtool source, do not specify any options to configure 4. run make Actual Results: Kernel panics with a fatal exception error, and mentions the perl executable in the dump screen. Expected Results: rrdtool compiles without errors as it does on RHEL v3 for i386. Additional info: The error I get after reboot from kernel panic, when I try to compile again with doing a make clean as something with "/usr/bin/ld: ../src/.libs//librrd_private.a(parsetime.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ----- I can be contacted at ritter, or 847-735-5112. I would love to get this fixed, much less help improve a RedHat product. Please let me know if you need anything further.
You can close this bug ticket. Turned out there was a bad RAM DIMM.
