Description J. Bruce Fields 2007-02-27 00:16:07 UTC
Description of problem:  I'm running

  cvsps -d '4 days ago'

in a big CVS repository originally checked out with (approximately)

  CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d anoncvs.umich.edu:/cvs pnfs

(password anoncvs)

After running a minute or so, the machine locks up.  Not necessarily at the same
point each time.

Mouse doesn't move, magic sysrq keys don't work, I can't ping the machine; only
the power button works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6


How reproducible:

See above.  I'll try to find a simpler test case.

Additional info:

This is on a thinkpad x60 tablet--core duo, intel gigE, SATA, etc; let me know
what details would be useful.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to debug this....

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2007-03-19 20:32:39 UTC
Can you try installing kernel-debug and booting that image instead ? It turns on
lockdep, slab debug etc etc.. which might give some clues.


Comment 2 J. Bruce Fields 2007-03-20 18:13:20 UTC
Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce the problem after several tries
with 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6debug, though I verified that I could on the first try
with 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6.

Sorry for not following up before; I *believe* the problem actually went away
after upgrades (so, presumably, it was fixed).  *But* I had other problems
(totally unrelated to the OS) with that hardware, and ended up having to return
it, so I can no longer confirm the fix with 100% certainty.  In any case, it
should be closed.  (But, apologies, I'm not quite sure how....)
