Created attachment 1227296 [details] Xorg log file Description of problem: Since upgrading to Fedora 25, the kernel crashes hard, daily, during routine activity such as web browsing. I have a reproducer (for me at least) which is playing a specific video. The machine will crash hard after about 5-15 minutes of playing this video. The only thing to do is to hard reboot. Also ssh and ping stop during the crash, so I was not able to see if the kernel dumps and info to the message log. I am going to try to see if kdump can capture anything. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Both of the following kernels crash: kernel-4.8.8-300.fc25.x86_64 kernel-4.8.10-300.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: It crashes during routine activity such as web browsing, but I also found that playing a specific video in VLC crashes the machine reproducibly. Additional information: Lenovo Thinkpad T450s Xorg log attached.
Sadly kdump didn't capture anything.
(In reply to Richard W.M. Jones from comment #1) > Sadly kdump didn't capture anything. Actually kdump appears to be broken. I'll file a separate bug about that.
(In reply to Richard W.M. Jones from comment #1) > Sadly kdump didn't capture anything. What about netconsole?
netconsole fails to load with: # modprobe netconsole netconsole=@/wlp3s0,@192.168.0.167/modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'netconsole': Unknown error 524 I'll file a bug about this one too.
OK turns out that "Unknown error 524" really means "the error was written to dmesg", and the real error was that netconsole doesn't support wifi. I don't have an ethernet cable to hand, so I'll have to try out netconsole a bit later.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 25 kernel bugs. Fedora 25 has now been rebased to 4.9.3-200.fc25. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 26, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 26. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
Why even bother filing kernel bugs?

Still crashing every few days.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
