Description Russell McOrmond 2007-07-13 14:55:26 UTC
Description of problem:

Machine is used as a firewall with 4 interfaces:  3 cards that use the 8139too
driver, and a motherboard Ethernet that uses the e100 driver.

All seem to have separate IRQ's/etc

With the kernel-2.6.20-1.2312.fc5 kernel it runs fine, but if I use newer
kernels (IE: kernel-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 kernel-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6) it will freeze
after about a day of activity.

I am using the FC6 userspace, but had an old FC5 from before the upgrade which I
tested to be fine.

The problem is quite intermittent, but given the usage (Firewall/router -- not
much running in userspace at all), and the change only being in build
environment and RedHat patches (IE: same base kernel), it may be easier to find
what changed.

I would test the F7 kernel, except that it uses the new kernel which changes my
/dev/hda to /dev/sda which is harder to switch between versions.  I tried with
and without "pci=routeirq", and it makes no difference.

How reproducible:

With the newer kernels it will freeze after about a day of activity.

Comment 1 Jon Stanley 2008-01-08 01:51:33 UTC
(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I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer
maintained.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!

Comment 2 Jon Stanley 2008-02-08 04:24:21 UTC
Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA,
since no information has been lodged for over 30 days.

Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data,
and thanks for filing the original report!
