Description of problem: Loading some modules with parameters can cause a panic on RHEL4. This is easily reproduced on ia64 montecito hardware (although likely possible on other hardware as well). This was fixed upstream some time ago (2.6.12): http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112311594619258&w=2 I am working on porting that patch to current RHEL4 source. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL4 (all) How reproducible: 100% on ia64 montecito hardware Steps to Reproduce: 1. modprobe -v lockd nlm_udpport=4001 nlm_tcpport=4001 2. 3. Actual results: panic! Expected results: Additional info:
