Description of problem: I just upgraded HP dl585 from fedora core 3 to 5 with current updates as of today. This was a clean install updates. thisis a storage server running samba, ldap, netatalk and snmp. kernel 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 #1 SMP is the kernel installed. Everything works fine except netatalk 2.03 as supplied with FC5. Here is the dmesg from the appletalk kernel module.

Sorry for the delay in processing this bug report - I was on vacation. The bug appears to be in the appletalk kernel module, where a null pointer gets dereferenced - moving to kernel. I can confirm that the FC-5 netatalk-2.0.3-4.2.1 and the latest FC-5 Updates netatalk-2.0.4-5.fc5 works OK with simple AFS home directory sharing on an i386. What netatalk services are you using ? Please append your /etc/atalk/* configuration files to this bug or send them to me: jvdias and I'll try to reproduce this problem here - thanks!
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
This bug has been mass-closed along with all other bugs that have been in NEEDINFO state for several months. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, this is the only method we have of cleaning out stale bug reports where the reporter has disappeared. If you can reproduce this bug after installing all the current updates, please reopen this bug. If you are not the reporter, you can add a comment requesting it be reopened, and someone will get to it asap. Thank you.
