Description of problem: While booting with kernel 2.6.21-1.3189.fc7, and of course when I was not watching closely what happens, I ended up with a kernel panic with a screen image attached. It looks like that bringing up a network interface stumbled. No traces in logs after a reboot. I was booting this kernel a number of times before and after and this was the only incident of that sort. How reproducible: I have seen that only once.
Created attachment 155415 [details] a screen image with a kernel panic
This happens sporadically but it happens. I just got an identical panic but starting kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 for a change.
Was this an e1000 by any chance?
> Was this an e1000 by any chance? Attached picture says that this happened with RIP "e100: e100_poll+0x2fb/0x346". After this long time I am not even entirely sure on which machine this was registered although I think that more or less I know. In any case I did not see something of that sort for a while now but this was not a frequent event even those five months ago.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
I do recall similar incidents on other occasions.
