is this repeatable with todays updates ?
Dunno, you can get one of new development builds and check it out, but I don't think that bug is still exist.
I think bug is there still, I'm seeing similar in 1.1574_FC5, crashes quite quickly after booting. Seems interrupt/timer related issues, traceback is full of ip_ct_stuff, also I got 2^32 ms ping times for a while, then the box hung while I started up X. Sometimes it crashes during the boot process itself. Netconsole didn't seem to work, acpi=off booted even worse (right after detecting hda it just hung), so no traceback, will hunt for a serial cable... Box is a nforce3-based x86_64, 1.1535_FC5 is rock-solid., I think it broke some time around 1542 for me as well.
Here's a calltrace (manually typed in, so skipping the addresses) panic+11 kernel_text_address+28, show_trace+505, dump_stack+14 _spin_lock_irqsave+9, rwlock_bug, _raw_write_lock+58, ip_conntrack:destroy_conntrack+109, conntrack: __ip_ct_event_cache_init+125 ip_ct_refresh_acct+211, udp_packet+38, ip_conntrack_in+956, poison_obj+49, nf_iterate+89, dst_output+o, nf_hook_slow+95, dst_output+0, ip_push_pending_frames+872... Oh sod it, please see attachment (different occurrance of the bug)
Created attachment 119228 [details] Oops
Created attachment 119229 [details] dmesg of affected box
there were a bunch of netfilter fixes merged recently, can you retest ?
Oops, forgot to report here as well, my problems vanished. "Ok, it looks like that patch was the thing after all. I now tried the latest fedora-devel kernel (1.1582, based on 2.6.14-rc2-git6) and the box has been running for a few hours happily. Could be the fedora kernel that claimed to be git4 actually wasn't, or the git4 changelog was really a post-git4 changelog :). But anyway, bug is gone."
