Created attachment 129238 [details] full kernel log with two oopses and boot messages
I just oopsed the same server twice in a row using fuser. I have a script that goes through a sendmail queue and looks for any bad queue files (left behind by killed processes, etc.), and it runs fuser on the queue files looking to see if sendmail is accessing them. The system oopsed and hung, I rebooted it and ran the script again, and the system died again. Here is the oops (and the full kernel log for today will be attached): Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000001b8 printing eip: c018548c *pde = 289f0001 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: button battery ac ohci_hcd e100 mii floppy dm_snapshot dm_zero dm_mirror ext3 jbd dm_mod megaraid_mbox megaraid_mm sd_mod scsi_mod CPU: 1 EIP: 0060:[<c018548c>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010246 (2.6.9-34.ELsmp) EIP is at show_map+0x70/0x111 eax: 00000000 ebx: cd790a6c ecx: 000000fd edx: e2619990 esi: 00100073 edi: f4b76420 ebp: f3cbae20 esp: d3f18f24 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process fuser (pid: 18574, threadinfo=d3f18000 task=d01b4d30) Stack: 00000070 0000e000 000000fd 00000003 00043cfe d3f18f40 e2619990 c032c980 c032c980 f4b76420 00000000 cd790a6c c0174680 0000019d 00000000 00000400 b7d00000 00000006 00000000 00000005 00000000 c032ce60 e7abca60 00000400 Call Trace: [<c0174680>] seq_read+0x1c7/0x2c2 [<c015a43d>] vfs_read+0xb6/0xe2 [<c015a650>] sys_read+0x3c/0x62 [<c02d2657>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb [<c02d007b>] schedule+0x32f/0x8d3 Code: c1 e0 0c 50 89 f0 24 80 3c 01 19 c0 83 e0 fd 83 c0 73 f7 c6 04 00 00 00 50 75 1b 83 3d bc 11 41 c0 00 75 19 8b 54 24 18 8b 42 70 <8b> 80 b8 01 00 00 39 43 04 73 07 b8 78 00 00 00 eb 05 b8 2d 00 <0>Fatal exception: panic in 5 seconds
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 189260 ***
the U4 beta kernel resolves this issue, please see: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/
Since I'm the only person that even logs into this server, I'll take the "if it hurts don't do that" approach until a non-beta kernel comes out. Thanks.
