RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ales Kozumplik 2010-06-29 11:24:04 UTC 
Description of problem:

In 0628.n.3 an x86_64 install on qemu-kvm crashes occasionally with various errors in python, possibly because of memory corruption.

This might or might not be related to 607650 where an abort() is called in glibc C code because of a corrupted data structure.

Comment 3 Ales Kozumplik 2010-06-29 11:27:54 UTC 
Note: I don't know of anyone (the Brno RTT or myself) who has seen this on anything else except x86_64 qemu-kvm virtual machine.

Is there any swap in use, especially on the host? Do you run KSM?

Thanks!

This appears to be the bug I'm hitting (most times!) when installing RHEL 6 beta 2 (x86_64) in a VM on Fedora 13.

It's randomly flaking out when detecting storage, when installing packages, etc. :(

I'd prefer to communicate through BZ 607650, but that bug is non-public, giving Access Denied errors. :(

Managed to save an exception report with a recent crash, so I'll attach that in case it's useful.
