Description of problem: After upgrading acroread and acroread-plugin to version 7 from RHN kernel panics after some minutes of using acroread-plugin with any PDF document. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-11.EL acroread-plugin-7.0.0-4.2.0.EL4 firefox-1.0.6-1.4.1 How reproducible: Always (reproduced on two different boxes: desktop and laptop) Steps to Reproduce: 1.install described components 2.launch firefox 3.open and scroll down any pdf document from the web Actual results: kernel may panic few minutes later during other operations Expected results: stable working kernel Additional info: It may be related with scrolling of documents during download - I can not reproduce it while browsing of already cached document.
Have you tried this with any other browser?
Also, you say always reproducable, but you also say that it 'may' panic a few minutes later. Is it always, or is it just usually?
we need the output of the kernel panic to diagnose this.
Now I think it happens usually: yesterday evening I was able to easy reproduce it dy using only acroread (not as plugin) and then downloading something by sftp crashed the system. But this morning I cannot reproduce it. I do not have kernel panic messages because it does not appears in logs nor on screen - it happens in X Window. I will try to do a diskdump.

Now I do not think it is acroread - it looks like a bug in ipt_owner kernel module, that I've never used before.
Are you still experiencing this problem?
I'm closing this bugzilla as there was no answer to my ping. Feel free to reopen the bug if the problem still occurs.
