Description Aleksander Adamowski 2006-06-19 06:29:32 UTC
This is a repost of bug from 2006-06-13 18:27, which got lost due to the
Bugzilla database failure.

Description of problem:

On a HP DL385 Dual Core Opteron server running Fedora Core 4, I've upgraded the
kernel to version 2.6.16-1.2111_FC4smp last sunday.

Now it outputs the following error in kernel log every 20-30 minutes:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC4.x86_64

The system works fine, but the message looks suspicious.

The message looks the same like in bug 180108, but:

1) I'm not using fuse or any other non-typical filesystems
2) Bug 180108 was supposedly fixed in version 2.6.16-1.2096_FC4, and I'm running
a newer one.

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2006-06-26 14:53:45 UTC
the audit layer got a large reworking in 2.6.17.  I'm pretty confident updating
to the update I pushed out last week will fix it, as I was able to trigger a
similar stack trace myself during .17 development.

Feel free to reopen if you manage to trigger the same stack trace under the
latest errata.

Thanks.

Comment 2 Aleksander Adamowski 2006-06-29 08:22:53 UTC
I cannot see the SMP 2.6.17 kernel anywhere:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/x86_64/

There's only kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC4.x86_64.rpm, no kernel-smp.
