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.
Created attachment 138831 [details] /var/log/messages, now kernel is 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 After upgrade to kernel 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5, the problem remain.
After upgrade to kernel 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5, the problem remain.
kernel: lock: dfca6d2c, .magic: dead4ebd, .owner: <none>/-1, .owner_cpu: -1 There's an important clue that I never noticed from the earlier posts. That dead4ebd *should* be dead4ead. A single bit is incorrectly flipped. This might be indicative of bad ram. Can you give a run of memtest86+ for a while and see if that picks anything up ?
After 8 hour memtest86+ show no error. I do a fresh fc6 install but nothing change. localhost kernel: BUG: rwlock bad magic on CPU#0, firefox-bin/2593, dfe817ac (Not tainted) #uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 #1 SMP Fri Nov 10 12:45:28 EST 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux New /var/log/messages from fc6 is in attachement.

With all fc6 kernel upgrades the problem is still here. I run memtest86+ for 20 hours without errors. I test RAM modules and motherboard memory slots changing memory modules location (in any possible combination, running fedora or memtest86+). Windows XP SP2 run fine without problem on this system. RAM its ok. No "bad magic" error found when running in sigle channel, but always give me this error in dual channel mode. Is memory controller problem? or software bug? Because FC3 running fine and I got this error only in FC5 and FC6, I think is a software bug. Command "netstat -ltap" frequent give "bad magic". #netstat -ltap (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
