I upgraded my HTPC to F10 and I started getting hangs whenever the system comes under some heavy video load. If I boot the system with the old F9 kernel, the problem goes away. I've primarily been running with radeon HEAD and nomodeset, but I see the issue with the "normal" radeon driver as well. This is the GPF I'm getting (the taint is caused by bug 438046): general protection fault: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 1 Modules linked in: nfs lockd nfs_acl lirc_serial lirc_dev f71882fg sunrpc ipv6 cpufreq_ondemand powernow_k8 freq_table dm_multipath ppdev snd_seq_dummy parport_pc parport snd_trident gameport snd_ac97_codec ac97_bus snd_util_mem snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq firewire_ohci k8temp hwmon pcspkr snd_mpu401_uart snd_rawmidi firewire_core crc_itu_t snd_hda_intel snd_seq_device snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss i2c_piix4 snd_pcm ati_remote snd_timer snd_page_alloc snd_hwdep snd r8169 mii soundcore shpchp ata_generic pata_acpi pata_atiixp radeon drm i2c_algo_bit i2c_core [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] Pid: 3755, comm: mplayer Tainted: G W 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64 #1 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81171028>] [<ffffffff81171028>] list_del+0xc/0x85 RSP: 0018:ffff88005f9738b8 EFLAGS: 00210096 RAX: ff000000feffffd8 RBX: ff000000ff000000 RCX: ffff880000012258 RDX: ffff880000012220 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ff000000ff000000 RBP: ffff88005f9738c8 R08: 0000000000000002 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 000000000000080e R11: 0000000000000001 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffff880000012000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff880000012000 FS: 00007fbc34487750(0000) GS:ffff880077804880(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00007fc61b294000 CR3: 000000006847a000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process mplayer (pid: 3755, threadinfo ffff88005f972000, task ffff880071e01710) Stack: 0000000000000000 ff000000ff000000 ffff88005f973938 ffffffff810928b1 0000000000000020 0000000000000002 0000000000000020 ffff880000012200 000000005f973908 ffff880000012258 ff000000feffffd8 ffff880000012000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810928b1>] __rmqueue_smallest+0x81/0x14d [<ffffffff8109299c>] __rmqueue+0x1f/0x1de [<ffffffff81092ba7>] rmqueue_bulk+0x4c/0x99 [<ffffffff810945eb>] get_page_from_freelist+0x2db/0x6d1 [<ffffffff810340a6>] ? pick_next_task_fair+0x9d/0xac [<ffffffff81094d17>] __alloc_pages_internal+0xfe/0x457 [<ffffffff810b2676>] alloc_pages_current+0xb9/0xc2 [<ffffffff8108ed1b>] __page_cache_alloc+0x67/0x6c [<ffffffff81096afd>] __do_page_cache_readahead+0x8d/0x163 [<ffffffff81096ed1>] ondemand_readahead+0x178/0x18a [<ffffffff81096f7c>] page_cache_sync_readahead+0x17/0x1b [<ffffffff810903fd>] generic_file_aio_read+0x1fe/0x564 [<ffffffffa0314af2>] nfs_file_read+0xe5/0xf8 [nfs] [<ffffffff810c0093>] do_sync_read+0xe7/0x12d [<ffffffff810551e1>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x38 [<ffffffff81332aba>] ? _spin_lock+0x9/0xc [<ffffffff8113bf0c>] ? security_file_permission+0x11/0x13 [<ffffffff810c0a10>] vfs_read+0xa8/0x102 [<ffffffff810c0b2e>] sys_read+0x47/0x6e [<ffffffff8101024a>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b I've tested kernel-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64 and kernel-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.x86_64 and they both get this.

Pierre, Could you add your full dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log as uncompressed text/plain attachments to this bug ? Thanks --- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Is it sufficient with one without the crash? It is very rarely the machine stays up enough to get a dump once this happens.
It can help, yes. Were you using NFS ?
Can you test with fedora 12 livecd and report if it works with it.
Hmm... This problem is not present anymore on the system. I don't remember when it went away to be honest. Just close the bug, I'll reopen it if the bug ever resurfaces.
Ok closing the bug.
