Description Arlinton Bourne 2009-06-12 12:34:16 UTC
Description of problem:
When zFCP loads (ananconda or live system) the kernel panics. I can reproduce this on two of my zFCP enabled guests, and my guests only.

Here's the panic:

We've fixed a similar problem in RHEL5.3. What is the exact kernel version that panics?

Is it possible to take a dump after the panic occurred?

Comment 9 David Kovalsky 2009-09-03 08:34:01 UTC
Arlinton, can you provide the dump requested in comment #6?

Unfortunately during the last outage, we did a power-on reset of the z9 and the problem has 'disappeared' (this happened before - hence the word Rare in the topic). Stay tuned as I try to replicate the issue.

For the time this is reproducible again, what is the recommended way to dump the memory?

Hello Red Hat,
any more questions?

Hello Redhat,

Can we close this bug, if it is no more reproducing?

Thanks
