Description of problem: I was able to consistantly remove a flash drive and receive a non recoverable panic attack. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15, Gnome 3, with all updates as of June 26, 2011 How reproducible: Insert Flash drive, view file on it, cancel view and before exiting the filebrowser, click on safely remove flashdrive. The act or requesting to safely remove the flashdrive causes the panic stop. Keyboard lights are blinking. I was able to repeat the situation. Configuration. Fedora15, 64bit, E7300 processor, asus mother board 4 gig memory, In USB 1 was a 1 gig usb backup drive,(not active) but recognized In USB 3 was the 8 gig memory flash drive, the culprit The flashdrive was formatted Fat32. The hard disk backup was formatted NTFS After Panic attack, only recourse was the reset button or the power off button Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Could not determine how to give you a coredump.
Nautilus lets you organize files and folders, both on your computer and online. Version 3.2 is the application crashing and generating the panic attack. By the way, the E7300 is a dual core device. That is the hardware update
A 4 gig drive does not cause a panic action. However, an 8gig and my 1 terrabyte drive both cause the abort with panic. To remove the drives as the culprits, I did run an checkdisk (NTPS for all files), and there were absolutely no correcctions. I guess I will have to wait until someone else can also generate the same problem The Screen display shows panic as the last message, and I previously mentioned, keyboard is lost.
This is probably a variant of Bug 708718 Please try the update mentioned in that bug.
When I try to safely remove my NTFS formatted usb harddisk (320Gig) i get a kernel panic also, while it works if I format this drive with extN filesystems. What furhter details can/should I provide?
I'm also seeing repeatable panics on Fedora 15 x86_64 when removing USB flash drives.. However, I have updated to kernel release 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64. Hardware is a Dell Optiplex 980 w/16GB RAM, Nvidia GT520, 3Ware 9650. I have just installed kdump, but haven't been able to reboot and get a panic dump yet. Will upload as soon as I'm able.
