Description of problem: Was watching a video in mplayer when system locked up. Upon reboot, inspection of /var/log/messages revealed an oops/panic: kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 4ce82f9a kernel: printing eip: kernel: 4ce82f9a kernel: *pde = 00000000 kernel: Oops: 0000 [#1] kernel: DEBUG_PAGEALLOC kernel: Modules linked in: nls_utf8 cls_u32 sch_sfq sch_cbq radeon deflate zlib_deflate twofish serpent aes_i586 blowfish des sha256 crypto_null xfrm4_tunnel ipcomp esp4 ah4 af_key autofs4 sunrpc ipt_REJECT ipt_state ip_conntrack iptable_filter ip_tables dm_mod video button battery ac md5 ipv6 uhci_hcd i2c_viapro i2c_core snd_cmipci snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm snd_page_alloc snd_opl3_lib snd_timer snd_hwdep gameport snd_mpu401_uart snd_rawmidi snd_seq_device snd soundcore tulip via_rhine mii floppy ext3 jbd raid5 xor aic7xxx sd_mod scsi_mod kernel: CPU: 0 kernel: EIP: 0060:[<4ce82f9a>] Not tainted VLI kernel: EFLAGS: 00213006 (2.6.10-1.1146_FC4) kernel: EIP is at 0x4ce82f9a kernel: eax: c1ee6024 ebx: c1ee6024 ecx: 00000000 edx: 00000001 kernel: esi: 00000001 edi: c1ee3e18 ebp: cf495de4 esp: cf495dc4 kernel: ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 kernel: Process X (pid: 3251, threadinfo=cf495000 task=c0ac0a80) kernel: Stack: c01178cb 00000000 e8cb07de 3c18d057 00000001 c1ee3e18 00203206 c8ce7f48 kernel: cf495dfc c0117954 00000000 00000000 c1ee3e18 c4c97dc8 00000fd4 c02fe4a9 kernel: 00000000 c4c97dc8 c441edc8 c02a840a 00000000 c02a960c c8ce7f48 0000002c kernel: Call Trace: kernel: [<c01178cb>] __wake_up_common+0x36/0x51 kernel: [<c0117954>] __wake_up+0x6e/0xca kernel: [<c02fe4a9>] unix_write_space+0x37/0x5c kernel: [<c02a840a>] sock_wfree+0x1e/0x32 kernel: [<c02a960c>] __kfree_skb+0xa3/0xf3 kernel: [<c030038a>] unix_stream_recvmsg+0x2aa/0x374 kernel: [<c02a601d>] sock_aio_read+0x10d/0x11b kernel: [<c01bee40>] inode_has_perm+0x4c/0x54 kernel: [<c015fec5>] do_sync_read+0x97/0xc9 kernel: [<c01c0c73>] selinux_file_permission+0x114/0x11d kernel: [<c0132942>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2d kernel: [<c0173e90>] sys_select+0x494/0x49e kernel: [<c015ffa6>] vfs_read+0xaf/0xfb kernel: [<c01601f5>] sys_read+0x3c/0x62 kernel: [<c0103383>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb kernel: Code: Bad EIP value. kernel: <0>Fatal exception: panic in 5 seconds Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All current rawhide as of 2005-02-19, including: kernel-2.6.10-1.1146_FC4.i686 (running on an Athlon XP) xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.i386 How reproducible: First occurrence with this particular hw/sw combination. I believe I've seen a very similar crash a while back (probably FC3-test era), but I can't seem to find where I filed it in bugzilla, and it was with a very different video card (PCI Millenium II IIRC). Now (as of last weekend) I've got an AGP Radeon 7000 in the machine, using the Xorg 'radeon' driver. Note I've been watching lots of videos over the last week in mplayer, and this is the first time I've seen a crash with the new card, so I don't think it's the hardware (the radeon replaced yet another card, a borrowed Permedia 2V, which I'm pretty sure *was* causing hardware crashes). I've been through the memtest86 drill and that passes fine. I will add comments to this bug if I see it again.
Given the lack of followup, I guess it never appeared again ? There's been a lot of code changed since back then, so it's possible it got fixed in an errata if you've updated at all. I'll close this out, feel free to reopen if it reoccurs with the current errata kernel. thanks.
