2.6.17-1-FC5 isn't a kernel shipped by Fedora. What is this based on ?
That's be a transcription error. In my notebook it says "2.6.17-1.2157-FC5". Sorry. To verify : This machine runs the cron job to auto-update using yum. The crash happened on 17 July after I went home for the day. /var/log/yum.log shows that it updated to kernel 2.6.17-1.2157-FC5 on 16 July, with no further kernel updates since then. /var/log/messages* shows that it rebooted 17 July when I got to work. Hence it would indeed have been running 2.6.17-1.2157-FC5.
There is a deadlock fix in the 8139too driver in FC5.netdev.7 which isn't in the stock 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 kernels: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fedora-netdev/ Please give those kernels a try and post the results 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.
Closed due to lack of response. Please reopen when the requested information becomes available...thanks!
