Description W. Terrell Magee 2007-08-20 22:30:10 UTC
Description of problem:
Over the weekend, Aug 18, 2007, the machine named helm in RHN was allowed to
apply all updated from RHN. The update went without problem.  However, I am now
seeing a very unstable system.  Several system crashes resulting in immediate
reboots, random sig segv, and now I have a reproducible compiler failure.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.make bzImage in the release redhat kernel source tree
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
[root@helm Kernel]# make bzImage

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2007-08-21 06:55:17 UTC
Do you know if gcc or glibc has been updated during that time?
rpm -q gcc glibc
Can you verify gcc and glibc?
rpm -V `rpm -qa | grep 'gcc\|libstdc\|glibc\|nscd\|libgcj\|libgfortran'`


Comment 3 W. Terrell Magee 2007-08-21 14:52:46 UTC
]$ rpm -q gcc glibc
gcc-4.1.1-52.el5.2
glibc-2.5-12
glibc-2.5-12

The following is all I got before the system crashed again:


 rpm -V `rpm -qa | grep 'gcc\|libstdc\|glibc\|nscd\|libgcj\|libgfortran'`

Comment 4 W. Terrell Magee 2007-08-22 22:02:07 UTC
There was a hardware problem with this machine.  A reseat of the chip and 
memory sticks resulted in a stable box.  It has been up for 1 day now with no 
additional failures.

I would like to close this bug now.
