Description of problem: I am running Fc5 2.6.17-2174 on a Tyan 2665 mobo with 4GB memory, dual xeon. I run several virtual machines (win2k3 server) as guests on this vmware server 1.0 host. Everything works great until: When I launch backup exec to do a disk to disk backup (from sata raid on a 2420SA, to an IDE drive hdb), the linux host goes into a kernel panic. Details of the console output are in the attached. The first few lines show: List corruption. next->prev should be f7481858, but was f748313c ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at include/linux/list.h:185! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: /class/scsi_host/host0/proc_name Modules linked in: radeon(U) drm(U) ipv6(U) autofs4(U) ppdev(U) lm85(U) w83781d (U) hwmon_vid(U) hwmon(U) i2c_isa(U) vmnet(U) vmmon(U) sunrpc(U) vfat(U) fat (U) dm_mirror(U) dm_mod(U) video(U) button(U) battery(U) ac(U) lp(U) parport_pc (U) parport(U) snd_intel8x0(U) snd_ac97_codec(U) snd_ac97_bus(U) ftdi_sio(U) snd_seq_dummy(U) usbserial(U) snd_seq_oss(U) snd_seq_midi_event(U) snd_seq(U) snd_seq_device(U) snd_pcm_oss(U) snd_mixer_oss(U) 3c59x(U) snd_pcm(U) e1000(U) mii(U) ohci1394(U) ieee1394(U) snd_timer(U) sg(U) snd(U) uhci_hcd(U) ehci_hcd (U) i2c_i801(U) serio_raw(U) soundcore(U) e7xxx_edac(U) snd_page_alloc(U) floppy(U) i2c_core(U) edac_mc(U) ext3(U) jbd(U) aacraid(U) sd_mod(U) scsi_mod (U) CPU: 1 EIP: 0060:[<f88704ce>] Tainted: P VLI EFLAGS: 00013096 (2.6.17-vmhost #1) EIP is at aac_intr_normal+0x1cc/0x267 [aacraid] eax: 00000044 ebx: f7481858 ecx: c06b33b0 edx: 00003092 esi: f748180c edi: f751c800 ebp: 000000e5 esp: c0787f88 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process vmware-vmx (pid: 2999, threadinfo=c0787000 task=e39f8c30) Stack: f8872c57 f7481858 f748313c 00000000 f7447b5c e33cfda8 c04262dd 00000fa9 000000e5 f7447b5c 00000000 000000b1 f887171f c2abbe20 00000000 c0440a52 e3477d2c 00005880 c071b680 000000b1 c071b69c c0440b0a e495cfbc e3477d2c Call Trace: <c04262dd> do_timer+0x39/0x2e6 <f887171f> aac_rkt_intr+0x30/0x100 [aacraid] <c0440a52> handle_IRQ_event+0x23/0x4c <c0440b0a> __do_IRQ+0x8f/0xe5 <c0405f39> do_IRQ+0x67/0x84 ======================= Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel 2.6.17-2174 SMP How reproducible: As described above. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Heavy disk traffic (like launching a disk to disk backup) as described above. Actual results: Kernel panic, with list.h line 185. Expected results: Additional info: I ran memory tests and everything is ok for the whole 4gb.
