Kernel Panic with RHEL4 kernel while running connectathon test on specific host
Last modified: 2014-06-29 19:02:24 EDT
Description of problem: During the testing of the RHEL4 kernel host system hangs, and /kernel/filesystems/nfs/connectathon/EXTERNALWATCHDOG triggers. The following issue is recorded: ======================================================= lockd: couldn't shutdown host module! e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang Tx Queue <0> TDH <fa> TDT <61> next_to_use <61> next_to_clean <f8> buffer_info[next_to_clean] time_stamp <ffffd752> next_to_watch <fb> jiffies <ffffe263> next_to_watch.status <0> e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang Tx Queue <0> TDH <fa> TDT <61> next_to_use <61> next_to_clean <f8> buffer_info[next_to_clean] time_stamp <ffffd752> next_to_watch <fb> jiffies <ffffea33> next_to_watch.status <0> ======================================================= Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I have reproduced this issue testing Cthon (connectathon) with the 2.6.9-89.0.25.EL smp kernel on sonata-02.lab.bos.redhat.com: Job#150379 Recipe-387071 http://rhts.redhat.com/testlogs/2010/04/150379/387071/3127911/console.txt I have reproduced this issue testing Cthon (connectathon) with the 2.6.9-89.0.24.EL smp kernel on sonata-02.lab.bos.redhat.com: Job#150608 Recipe-387719 http://rhts.redhat.com/testlogs/2010/04/150608/387719/3132119/console.txt I have reproduced this issue testing Cthon (connectathon) with the 2.6.9-89.0.23.EL smp kernel on sonata-02.lab.bos.redhat.com: Job#150720 Recipe-387952 http://rhts.redhat.com/testlogs/2010/04/150720/387952/3133816/console.txt I have reproduced this issue testing Cthon (connectathon) with the 2.6.9-89.24.EL smp kernel Job#150810 - issue reproduced with Viveks release kernel. http://rhts.redhat.com/testlogs/2010/04/150810/388356/3135931/console.txt Further data: A later test that I had kicked off, as a clone of the original test, testing Cthon (connectathon) with the 2.6.9-89.0.25.EL smp kernel on sonata-02.lab.bos.redhat.com.

This looks a LOT like bug 558809, but it doesn't appear to me that the 82541 could be a problem too since it doesn't do packet-split. That is unfortunate.
This is a year old and it seems like problems that often happen on one system are due to a BIOS/firmware problem on that system. I'm going to close this as NOTABUG.
