panic with new errate kernel 2.4.3-12
Last modified: 2008-08-01 12:22:51 EDT
One of our servers will panic about once a week with the latest errata kernel 2.4.3-12. I don't know what triggers the problem. I'll attatch the the output vrom /var/log/messages to this report. The server acts as an nfs file server (no other services/user logins). It has REdHAt 7.1 plus all updates installed and an one ide discs (/) plus two identical scsci disct building a software raid.

Is this the enterprise kernel ?
No. The kernel is the standard UP i686 variant.
I also have a problem with the new kernel. My machine is also a NFS server and the problem occured during NFS operation or during scp operations. However, the machine simply freeze, without entry in syslog.
I've just tried the i363 version and I have the same result! I can almost reproduce the error: I just have to nfs-mount something from another machine (with original kernel 2.4.2-2), and the do a 'wc *', and, whith a high probability, my nfs server (with the new kernel) will crash... I hope it helps.
I currently use kernel-2.4.5-10 from rawhide which runs stable.
