I upgraded to kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl After about 12 hours of uptime, it crashed: Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: printing eip: Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: c012f1d9 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: *pde = 30bdc001 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: *pte = 0b8ea067 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: Oops: 0002 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: loop 3c59x ipt_REJECT iptable_filter ip_tables microcode keybdev mousedev hid input usb-ohci usbcore ext3 jbd megaraid2 sd_mod scsi_mod Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: CPU: 1 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: EIP: 0060:[<c012f1d9>] Not tainted Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: EFLAGS: 00010202 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: EIP is at free_uid [kernel] 0x39 (2.4.22-1.2199.nptlsmp) Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: eax: 00000000 ebx: f798c200 ecx: f798c20c edx: 00000000 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: esi: dc852204 edi: dc850684 ebp: d0006000 esp: dc1bff28 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: ds: 0068 es: 0068 ss: 0068 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: Process amavisd (pid: 30958, stackpage=dc1bf000) Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: Stack: f798c200 c03758ec 01200011 c0122ca0 f798c200 d0006000 f77c8680 c015d1c4 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: 0000000c f67a7f00 d00060d0 fffffff4 01200011 00000000 bf5db0c8 bfe90cac Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: c012316e 01200011 bfe90c0c dc1bffc4 00000000 00000000 bf5db0c8 00000009 Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: Call Trace: [<c0122ca0>] copy_process [kernel] 0x680 (0xdc1bff34) Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: [<c015d1c4>] do_pipe [kernel] 0x184 (0xdc1bff44) Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: [<c012316e>] do_fork [kernel] 0x4e (0xdc1bff68)Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: [<c0107bd9>] sys_clone [kernel] 0x49 (0xdc1bffa0) Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: [<c0109b27>] system_call [kernel] 0x33 (0xdc1bffc0) Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: Aug 11 19:51:10 spamstop kernel: Code: 89 50 04 89 02 c7 41 04 00 00 00 00 c7 43 0c 00 00 00 00 a1 This is a Dell 1750, running spamassassin, amavisd, and postfix [root@spamstop.knology.com root]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20-HE Host Bridge (rev 33) 00:00.1 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20-HE Host Bridge 00:00.2 Host bridge: ServerWorks CNB20-HE Host Bridge 00:0e.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) 00:0f.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks CSB5 South Bridge (rev 93) 00:0f.1 IDE interface: ServerWorks CSB5 IDE Controller (rev 93) 00:0f.2 USB Controller: ServerWorks OSB4/CSB5 OHCI USB Controller (rev 05) 00:0f.3 ISA bridge: ServerWorks GCLE Host Bridge 00:10.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0110 (rev 12) 00:10.2 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0110 (rev 12) 00:11.0 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0101 (rev 05) 00:11.2 Host bridge: ServerWorks: Unknown device 0101 (rev 05) 01:04.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78) 04:03.0 RAID bus controller: Dell Computer Corporation PowerEdge Expandable RAID controller 4 (rev 02) [root@spamstop.knology.com root]#
We're getting the same thing here - 3 servers (Sunfire v60x) have crashed in the last 2 days. These are just essentially workstations that people connect to from home to work on - the only service that they run is named. This occured with kernel-2.4.22-1.2197.nptlsmp, and I've just upgraded to 2199 - But I see that the reporter is having this problem with 2199. Here's sample output from one of the three: csd login: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004 *pde = 2623d001 *pte = 00000000 Oops: 0002 nfs lockd sunrpc autofs loop e1000 floppy sg microcode keybdev mousedev hid input usb-uhci usbcore ext3 jbd aic79xx sd_mod scsi_mod CPU: 2 EIP: 0060:[<c012f1d9>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010202 EIP is at free_uid [kernel] 0x39 (2.4.22-1.2197.nptlsmp) eax: 00000000 ebx: f6a5ffa0 ecx: f6a5ffac edx: 00000000 esi: ec888000 edi: 00000002 ebp: 00000000 esp: f6827f18 ds: 0068 es: 0068 ss: 0068 Process bash (pid: 8220, stackpage=f6827000) Stack: f6a5ffa0 c03756ec f6826000 c01216db f6a5ffa0 ec888000 00003c3b bff7c858 c0128a34 ec888000 c0401218 c0400d80 00000000 00000002 ec8880d0 ec888000 f6826000 f68260c8 c0128e81 ec888000 bff7c858 00000000 c01272e9 00000000 Call Trace: [<c01216db>] __put_task_struct [kernel] 0x2b (0xf6827f24) [<c0128a34>] wait_task_zombie [kernel] 0x144 (0xf6827f38) [<c0128e81>] sys_wait4 [kernel] 0x241 (0xf6827f60) [<c01272e9>] session_of_pgrp [kernel] 0x29 (0xf6827f70) [<c0128f67>] sys_waitpid [kernel] 0x27 (0xf6827fac) [<c0109b27>] system_call [kernel] 0x33 (0xf6827fc0) Code: 89 50 04 89 02 c7 41 04 00 00 00 00 c7 43 0c 00 00 00 00 a1 If there's anything else that I can provide, please let me know.

Eeep - Forgot to add myself to the CC list - sorry for the extra mail.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
