I just experienced the following kernel oops: --- Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c04ede17>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010296 (2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 #1) EIP is at _raw_spin_lock+0x7/0xd9 eax: 48a3335c ebx: 48a3335c ecx: edd45550 edx: c0007bac esi: 00000000 edi: c0007bac ebp: 48a33300 esp: c1866eac ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process kswapd0 (pid: 170, ti=c1866000 task=c1870db0 task.ti=c1866000) Stack: c1866f14 0000001f 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 00000001 00000000 c0490129 00000246 c1228648 c115dfb0 c1212050 c0707c98 c0007a74 00000000 00000052 00000052 c0483022 00000080 e0b8b3c0 dc9fce10 000005dc ededa440 Call Trace: [<c0490129>] remove_inode_buffers+0x37/0xc2 [<c0483022>] shrink_icache_memory+0xba/0x1a8 [<c045dddf>] shrink_slab+0xd9/0x13e [<c045e174>] kswapd+0x2b4/0x3bb [<c0437725>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x35 [<c045dec0>] kswapd+0x0/0x3bb [<c043766b>] kthread+0xb0/0xd9 [<c04375bb>] kthread+0x0/0xd9 [<c0404b33>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ======================= Code: 43 08 74 0c ba 78 cc 6b c0 89 d8 e8 a9 fe ff ff c7 43 0c ff ff ff ff b0 01 c7 43 08 ff ff ff ff 86 03 5b c3 56 53 89 c3 83 ec 18 <81> 78 04 ad 4e ad de 74 0a ba 62 cc 6b c0 e8 7b fe ff ff 65 a1 EIP: [<c04ede17>] _raw_spin_lock+0x7/0xd9 SS:ESP 0068:c1866eac --- This is with kernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6. The last thing I did was to run "locate", though I doubt this is related since I use that command quite frequently without any problems. I stopped using ndiswrapper a few weeks back, and uninstalled it and all its kernel modules. I'm now using cat-5 cables strung around my apartment, so this oops is not related to the wireless subsystem. There do seem to be other kernel oops reports in bugzilla which are related to sleeping the system. I have used "suspend system" today, but that was several hours ago. After this oops, I was unable to start any new applications (emacs, gnome-terminal, etc.), so I was forced to reboot. I was able to paste the text of the oops into an open Emacs buffer and save it to disk, which is how it is reproduced here.
(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
I haven't experienced an oops with this particular trace with Fedora 8, though I have reported other oopses in separate bugs.
You might want to see bug 428329; I suspect there might be a general problem when I suspend/hibernate which results in a variety of kernel crashes.
Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks.
