RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Nicolas, did you have any virtual guests running on this system? Or even loaded?
Comment 3 Nicolas Dichtel 2016-02-26 09:00:02 UTC 
No. However, the system was booted on a vm (qemu), not on a physical machine.

Comment 7 Rik van Riel 2016-03-10 19:21:53 UTC 
I have built a test kernel with the patch from comment #6. Does that change resolve the issue?

Comment 8 Nicolas Dichtel 2016-03-17 10:07:08 UTC 
It seems that this kernel is not compiled with debug options. I got the initial backtrace only with the debug kernel.
Comment 9 Rik van Riel 2016-03-17 17:16:06 UTC 
My apologies, I have uploaded a debug kernel to the same location now.

Does that kernel resolve the problem, or is it still showing up?
Comment 10 Nicolas Dichtel 2016-03-18 15:36:09 UTC 
No backtrace on my side, thank you.
Comment 11 Karen Noel 2016-03-21 18:39:25 UTC 
Nicolas, 

What is the version of your host software packages for kernel/qemu/libvirt? Thanks.
