Comment 4 Linda Wang 2009-02-16 12:12:29 UTC
Cai, does this still happened on

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2009-02-16 15:43:58 UTC
Updating PM score.

Comment 6 Qian Cai 2009-02-17 01:45:55 UTC
Yes, I have still seen it with -120.el5 kernel,
http://rhts.redhat.com/cgi-bin/rhts/test_log.cgi?id=4818818
I am trying the -128.el5 now, and will update once done.

Comment 8 Qian Cai 2009-05-01 16:33:29 UTC
The machine is available again. I'll reserve it, and test it as soon as possible.

Comment 9 Qian Cai 2009-05-04 07:55:03 UTC
Someone put an access key on this machine. I'll need to ask system admins to access it.

Comment 11 Qian Cai 2009-05-06 00:57:06 UTC
I'll close this one out, since the machine is still unavailable, and I have not seen it on any other machine so far.
