Description of problem: I installed FC7 and the system keeps crashing, sometimes during bootup, loading gnome or while in gnome. For example, while in a virtual terminal and copying a lot of files, the system freezes, then I'm lucky enough to get a kernel stack trace. It goes through libata and EIP points to spinlock_unlock or something. The kernel seams to have problems with handling some sort of software interrupts. I'll try to post a attachment of the stack trace tomorrow -- system logs don't seem to contain it, gonna need a good old pen and paper. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): stock FC7 kernel without XEN How reproducible: It reproduces itself :) Actual results: System freeze. Expected results: Fully functional system and a happy fedora user :) Additional info: Hardware specs: Matsonic MS8157E VIA KM266 AMD Duron 1.3 GHz 384 MiB SDRAM 40 GiB Samsung harddrive Nvidia Geforce FX5200
OK I get to different stack trace, the first one occurs during boot-up and the second one when in virtual terminal. 1) Call Trace: [<c04064da>] die+0x199/0x240 [<c04067d7>] do_divide_error+0x0/0xa8 [<c0406876>] do_divide_error+0x9f/0xa8 [<c060171d>] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x8/0x9 [<c041fab5>] __wake_up_common+0x32/0x55 [<c0420991>] complete+0x39/0x48 [<d88f80cd>] __ata_qc_complete+0x8c/0x92 [libata] [<d88f816c>] ata_qc_complete+0x99/0xa9 [libata] [<d88f86e6>] ata_hsm_qc_complete+0xb6/0xc1 [libata] [<c060190c>] error_code+0x7c/0x84 [<c060171d>] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x8/0x9 [<d88fc1c0>] ata_interrupt+0x1c5/0x1d7 [libata] [<c04521aa>] handle_IRQ_event+0x1a/0x3f [<c04535ea>] handle_level_irq+0x81/0xc7 [<c0453569>] handle_level_irq+0x0/0xc7 [<c04072bb>] do_IRQ+0xac/0xd1 [<c04058ff>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x28 Code: e2 ff 90 fe 06 79 09 f3 90 80 3b 00 7e f9 eb f2 5b c3 31 d2 86 10 31 c0 84 d2 0f 9f c0 c3 b2 01 86 10 c3 89 d1 b2 01 86 10 51 9d <c3> b2 01 86 10 fb c3 90 83 28 01 79 05 e8 e9 fc ff ff c3 9c 5a EIP: [<c060171d>] _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x8/0x9 SS:ESP 0068:c077ce7c Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's the second one, I ommited memory addresses (too much typing): __delay panic do_exit die do_divide_error do_divide_error default_idle enqueue_hrtimer hrtimer_start ktime_get handle_level_irq do_IRQ error_code default_idle default_idle cpu_idle start_kernel unknown_bootoption EIP: [<c04e6611>] delay_tsc+0xd/0x13 SS:ESP 0068:c0716e58 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

Computer freezes with 2.6.21-3228.fc7, does not freeze with 2.6.20-2925.11.fc7xen (used only with fc7), with Windows xp, or with OpenSUSE10.2, all on the same computer, HP m7259c with AMD64x2 processor and 2GB memory. Freeze time is random, but fast reboot means fast freeze.
This bug fixed for me with updates of 7/17/07 and 7/19/07. Installing updates was difficult, so I cannot tell which one did it.
Hello folks, I'm reviewing this bug 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. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while and it appears resolved. I am therefore closing. If I have erred, please forgive me and re-open with any additional information you are able to give. I will then try and assist you if I can. Cheers Chris
