Description of problem: I have a Dell PowerEdge 400SC that has migrated from FC1, to FC5, and this morning to FC6. After bringing the system up to date, I loaded a set of iptables rules that included ip_conntrack, ip_conntrack_ftp, and ip_conntrack_h323. I do not believe that there were any active connections being tracked as I issued a reboot command a few minutes after updating the firewall rules and got a kernel panic. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 How reproducible: Tried it a second time, but it rebooted cleanly the second time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Updated firewall rules. 2. Issued reboot command. 3. Actual results: EIP: 0060:[<c04e99d1>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010296 (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 #1) EIP is at list_del+0x9/0x6c eax: 00200200 ebx: cdb9e9fc ecx: 000bd1b1 edx: 00000001 esi: 00003fd8 edi: 000007fb ebp: 00000000 esp: cd654f24 ds: 007b cs: 007b ss: 0068 Process modprobe (pid: 5233, ti=cd654000 task=ce00a8a0 task.ti=cd654000) Stack: ffffff10 cdb9e948 00003fd8 cdb9e948 d0b30eac cdb9e948 d0b2ff96 d0b2f9ba 00000020 00000020 00000000 cd654000 d0b300e3 d0b3b700 c043f601 635f7069 746e6e6f 6b636172 00000000 cedb74c4 c0460b93 cdd69040 cedb74c4 c0461523 Call Trace: [<d0b30eac>] destroy_conntrack+0x7/0xc9 [ip_conntrack] [<d0b2ff96>] ip_ct_iterate_cleanup+0x2a/0x116 [ip_conntrack] [<d0b300e3>] ip_conntrack_cleanup+0x55/0xa7 [ip_conntrack] [<c043f601>] sys_delete_module+0x192/0x1b9 [<c0404013>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb DWARF2 unwinder stuck at syscall_call+0x7/0xb Leftover inexact backtrace: ======================= Code: 8d 46 04 e8.....

Please upgrade your kernel. Current release is 2.6.19-1_2895, and 2.6.19-1_2911 is available in testing.
The machines here are updated to the latest automatically; however, I have never been able to reproduce the bug, so failure to generate the bug in the latest kernel implies nothing. If an error check was put in place to avoid the code path(s) indicated the backtrace, then that is about all that can be done easily (i.e., at least handle the corrupted data structure, even when lacking knowledge of how the structure was corrupted in the first place).
I had a similar error happen under the .2911 release of the kernel, but it was a xen kernel and it was for 64bit processors. I submitted a bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230640
Created attachment 149950 [details] Crash 1
Created attachment 149951 [details] Crash 2 (latest kernel)
I've got this oops a couple of times with - kernel-2.6.19-1.2895 - kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6 It happens about 1/3 of the times during reboot/shutdown. (See attached images for oops)
Should be fixed in kernel 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6. Please test.
