Encountered an oops while rebooting a system running 2.6.9-5.0.5.ELsmp system is a dual-processor i686, gathering details after I reboot it. system is unresponsive at this point, trying to reproduce EIP: 0060:[<c01f7121>] Not tainted VLI EIP is at vt_ioctl+0x15/0x12a1 Call Trace: [<c01f1f4b>] tty_open+0x189/0x2a0 [<c0154b53>] filp_open+0x36/0x3c [<c01f2dff>] tty_ioctl+0x370/0x3c2 [<c01650ba>] sys_ioctl+0x227/0x269 [<c0164941>] sys_fcntl64+0x6c/0x7d [<c016494b>] sys_fcntl64+0x76/0x7d [<c02c63fb>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb not syncing - attempted to kill init
not immediately reproducible, will note if I find constraints.
This looks like one of the races Jason has been chasing recently.
