Created attachment 1453388 [details]
kernel messages from journalctl

Description of problem:
Kernel is crashing randomly, every few days up to once a day.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.16.7-300.fc28.x86_64
4.16.15-300.fc28.x86_64
These are the kernel versions that actually crashed. It did not occur under F27 and previous versions.

How reproducible:
Wait and hope.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait
2. Crash
3. Reboot

Actual results:


Expected results:
It should not crash.

Additional info:
Please check the attached log file. In front of every crash there seems to be some problem with a bluetooth USB stick. I have removed that usb stick and I am checking the situation. However the kernel should not crash because of some silly usb communication problems.

The suspected device in question is:

Please delete the kernel3.log file due to some private information that is now filtered in the kernel.log file

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There are 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 28 kernel bugs.

Fedora 28 has now been rebased to 4.17.7-200.fc28.  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 experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 4 Frederic Steinfels 2018-07-23 14:59:15 UTC
I assume it will still crash. As nobody took care of this, I do not see why I should take the time to crash my server again.

I am sorry, I do no longer have the USB dongle in question.

Comment 7 Laura Abbott 2018-11-26 17:28:30 UTC
Thanks for letting us know. I'm going to close the bug, if you happen to find the dongle feel free to let us know and retest.
