Installing onto gfs2 from rawhide, kernel 2.6.24-0.157.rc8.fc9, fails with a backtrace; didn't capture the console but it looks like a BUG: softlockup sort of thing.
here's the oops: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/gfs2/glock.c:1119! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: sha256_generic aes_generic cbc blkcipher dm_crypt dm_emc dm_round_robin dm_multipath dm_snapshot dm_mirror dm_zero dm_mod xfs jfs reiserfs lock_nolock gfs2 msdos linear raid10 raid456 async_xor async_memcpy async_tx xor raid1 raid0 sg sr_mod cdrom sd_mod ata_generic ata_piix pata_acpi e100 mii libata ehci_hcd uhci_hcd ipv6 iscsi_tcp libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi scsi_mod ext2 ext3 jbd ext4dev jbd2 mbcache crc16 squashfs pcspkr edd floppy loop nfs lockd nfs_acl sunrpc vfat fat cramfs Pid: 1658, comm: ldconfig Not tainted (2.6.24-2.fc9 #1) EIP: 0060:[<debc941f>] EFLAGS: 00210282 CPU: 0 EIP is at gfs2_glock_nq+0x10d/0x1ad [gfs2] EAX: 00000020 EBX: d3b54e0c ECX: c0427db6 EDX: c1a26000 ESI: c462088c EDI: c87b2a00 EBP: d3b54ce4 ESP: d3b54cc0 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Process ldconfig (pid: 1658, ti=d3b54000 task=c1a26000 task.ti=d3b54000) Stack: debdff82 00000003 00000001 c87b2a00 c7b4c000 00000000 0001f528 c462088c d53cc980 d3b54d5c debdaa15 c462088c 00000000 00000000 000002d0 debe184b c46204b8 c7b4c000 c46207b4 00000000 c04e4367 c1a26000 c46204b8 c7b4c4d4 Call Trace: [<c0406b47>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x2f [<c0406bf7>] show_stack_log_lvl+0x9b/0xa3 [<c0406ca6>] show_registers+0xa7/0x178 [<c0406eac>] die+0x135/0x220 [<c0640814>] do_trap+0x8a/0xa3 [<c0407256>] do_invalid_op+0x88/0x92 [<c06405c2>] error_code+0x72/0x80 [<debdaa15>] gfs2_inplace_reserve_i+0x1f5/0x56b [gfs2] [<debd497b>] gfs2_rename+0x40c/0x664 [gfs2] [<c049ac39>] vfs_rename+0x273/0x3ed [<c049c710>] sys_renameat+0x174/0x1d9 [<c049c79d>] sys_rename+0x28/0x2a [<c0405292>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb ======================= Code: 0c c7 04 24 75 ff bd de 89 44 24 04 e8 88 7f 86 e1 8b 47 3c 8b 57 14 89 44 24 08 89 54 24 04 c7 04 24 82 ff bd de e8 6e 7f 86 e1 <0f> 0b eb fe 39 58 0c 74 0e 89 d0 8b 10 0f 18 02 90 39 c8 75 ef EIP: [<debc941f>] gfs2_glock_nq+0x10d/0x1ad [gfs2] SS:ESP 0068:d3b54cc0 ---[ end trace 2d4f1c8a3d22756d ]--- BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 11s!

Ah, that was fixed yonks ago upstream, its just that I can't easily update the kernel in Fedora until they start to use 2.6.24 since there is a lot of difference due to the write_begin/write_end code. As soon as they move to a 2.6.24 base, then this will be fixed.
Pid: 1658, comm: ldconfig Not tainted (2.6.24-2.fc9 #1) ^^^^^^ It is 2.6.24 -Eric
Ah, oops. Then it means that I need to send them the update that I've been waiting to send them. Last time I checked the Fedora CVS it hadn't been updated. I'll try and sort that out as soon as I can (which might be Tuesday now).
Ok - rawhide really pretty well follows git, with brief pauses now and then, so generally if something is busted in rawhide kernels, it's busted upstream.
The patch in upstream is: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=292c8c14cace19c94c6abe25506310239daf949e
Ok, that patch is in the 2.6.25 stream, it went in just 7 days ago (despite the Nov 7 date in your git tree, I guess) So perhaps when Fedora gets back on the git-stream in a couple days. Thanks, -Eric
Is this fixed for you now? If not I'll get it back on the list to look into.
Was just going to test it today, actually :) -Eric
With today's rawhide (roughly F9 beta), which has a 2.6.25 kernel, install completed. Haven't booted yet, if there's any trouble I'll let you know :) -Eric
