From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020326 Description of problem: Since I added the Adaptec ATA RAID 2400A to the computer, I am getting kernel panics and some mild FS corruption (an e2fsck will recover the data). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. Wait 3. Kernel panics after about 24 hours. Additional info: I have an Adaptec ATA RAID 2400A controller with two 120GB Maxtor drives in Promise Super Swap chassis configured as a RAID-1 array. The file system (/home) on the array is ext3fs and is served out by NFS. The kernel is from the Red Hat 2.4.9-31 RPM. The machine has two 400MHz Pentium II processors, but I am running the uniprocessor kernel because the SMP kernel completely hangs (not even magic sysrq can save me) when it panics. The machine has 576MB of RAM and 1152MB of swap. The swap (and the root file system) is on a separate, plain old IDE drive. Here is some relevant text from dmesg: attempt to access beyond end of device 08:01: rw=2, want=134217732, limit=120053713 EXT3-fs error (device sd(8,1)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #9994481: directory entry across blocks - offset=504, inode=9994499, rec_len=16408, name_len=13 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000d2 printing eip: 000000d2 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 Kernel 2.4.9-31 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<000000d2>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010206 EIP is at Using_Versions [] 0xd1 eax: 000000d2 ebx: cfbb7ae0 ecx: c1d973a0 edx: cfb372e0 esi: e07e9f7c edi: 00000003 ebp: bfffef38 esp: e07e9f28 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process updatedb (pid: 2584, stackpage=e07e9000) Stack: c013d2b1 cfb372e0 cfb372e0 e07e9f48 c013d451 c1d973a0 cfb372e0 e07e9f7c cfb372e0 c1d973a0 3c9d06b4 00000000 004c80c3 00000008 00000001 0805e5dc e07e9f7c 0805e6a4 c013d9b1 0805e684 e07e9f7c 004c80c3 81000801 d0320001 Call Trace: [<c013d2b1>] do_getattr [kernel] 0x21 [<c013d451>] vfs_lstat [kernel] 0x31 [<c013d9b1>] sys_lstat64 [kernel] 0x11 [<c0106f3b>] system_call [kernel] 0x33
