When this occurs you cannot log into to the machine via ssh and the console is locked up (we believe it locks up the tty access). We're running dell 7250 itaniums with qlogic QLA2450-E-SP fibre cards and intel e1000 network cards. These machines are running oracle 10g and talking to EMC for raw disk access. sh[22208]: NaT consumption 2216203124768 Pid: 22208, comm: sh EIP is at init_dev [kernel] 0xb1 (2.4.21-27.0.2.EL) psr : 0000121008026038 ifs : 8000000000000a17 ip : [<e0000000046140b1>] Tain ted: P unat: 0000000000000000 pfs : 0000000000000a17 rsc : 0000000000000003 rnat: 5a5596569aaa656b bsps: e000000004401370 pr : 80000000a5a6551b ldrs: 0000000000000000 ccv : 0000000000000000 fpsr: 0009804c0270033f b0 : e000000004614080 b6 : e0000000044b20c0 b7 : e000000004615b40 f6 : 1003e0000000000000000 f7 : 1003e0000000000000001 f8 : 10011db16a00000000000 f9 : 1003efffffffffffffe03 r1 : e000000004cb7d00 r2 : 0000000000000000 r3 : 0000000000000000 r8 : e000000004b26520 r9 : 0000000000000000 r10 : 0000000000000000 r11 : e000000004c445c6 r12 : e0000000368d7de0 r13 : e0000000368d0000 r14 : e0000000572fc000 r15 : e000000004c445c8 r16 : e000000004c446d8 r17 : e000000004c445c8 r18 : 0000000000000000 r19 : 0000000000000000 r20 : 0000000000000000 r21 : 0000000000000001 r22 : 0000000100040000 r23 : 0000000000000001 r24 : 0000ffffffff0000 r25 : e000000004b78ec8 r26 : 0000000000000500 r27 : 00000000000001f5 r28 : e0000000368d05c0 r29 : 0000000000000001 r30 : 0000000073a69c80 r31 : e000000004b851d0 Call Trace: [<e000000004415960>] sp=0xe0000000368d7970 bsp=0xe0000000368d1478 sh ow_stack [kernel] 0x80 [<e000000004431e50>] sp=0xe0000000368d7b40 bsp=0xe0000000368d1450 die [kernel] 0 x1b0 [<e000000004432fd0>] sp=0xe0000000368d7b40 bsp=0xe0000000368d1410 ia64_fault [ke rnel] 0x170 [<e00000000440ea20>] sp=0xe0000000368d7c40 bsp=0xe0000000368d1410 ia64_leave_ker nel [kernel] 0x0 [<e0000000046140b0>] sp=0xe0000000368d7de0 bsp=0xe0000000368d1350 init_dev [kern el] 0xb0 [<e000000004615c30>] sp=0xe0000000368d7de0 bsp=0xe0000000368d12e0 tty_open [kern el] 0xf0 [<e00000000451c460>] sp=0xe0000000368d7e30 bsp=0xe0000000368d12b0 chrdev_open [k ernel] 0x140 [<e000000004518910>] sp=0xe0000000368d7e30 bsp=0xe0000000368d1248 dentry_open [k ernel] 0x2f0 [<e000000004518600>] sp=0xe0000000368d7e30 bsp=0xe0000000368d1220 filp_open [ker nel] 0xc0 [<e000000004519070>] sp=0xe0000000368d7e60 bsp=0xe0000000368d11a0 sys_open [kern el] 0xb0 [<e00000000440ea00>] sp=0xe0000000368d7e60 bsp=0xe0000000368d11a0 ia64_ret_from_ syscall [kernel] 0x0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: The machine runs and eventually has the kernel exception.
