Created attachment 415914 [details] core dump I have the same problem on a Dell poweredge 2600. These are the steps I took to produce the crash dump that I attached 1) Install CentOs 5.3 on dell poweredge 2600 2) yum install kexec-tools 3) service kdump start 4) download rhel 6 beta pxe images 5) modify the rhel 6 beta initrd to include * centos 5.3 vmlinuz * centos 5.3 kdump initrd * rm init in the root of the initrd * make an init that says #!/bin/bash mount -t proc /proc /proc kexec -p vmlinuz-kdump --initrd=initrd-kdump.img umount /proc exec /sbin/init 6) modify grub.conf to boot into rhel 6 beta kernel and modified initrd with kernel cmdline argument crashkernel=128M A related bug, perhaps? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544220 If you need any more information let me know. We don't support this type of install. P. Oops. Sorry Joseph, I mixed up comments #3 and #1 -- my bad. P. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. Just to clarify, I originally experienced the problem when attempting a DVD install. That is just not how I captured that core dump. If it helps, I can try the same procedure with the initrd and vmlinuz from the DVD. Issue still exists with RHEL6 Snap6 (2.6.32-30.el6.i686) with same NULL pointer dereference error. For a temporary workaround you can use upstream driver 4.00.43.00: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=493093 I have been able to install rhel6 beta on a dell poweredge 2600 by replacing the modules in the pxe initrd.img and once again on disk after installation. The system has since been stable. However, please be very careful when using this driver as it does not have much testing so far as I know. Created attachment 430717 [details]
Wait for 15s on Doorbell ack to detect IOC READY State
This patch should fix the issue
I will try to get a test kernel rpm..
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** If you would still like this issue considered for the current release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** This issue appears to have been fixed in Snap 7. Feel free to close this bug. Joe |
