With kernel vmlinuz-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 there are no panics, but the firewall doesn't appear to be functional as some allowed operations seem to be blocked. Messages in the log preceding a panic include retry messages for IP6 concluding with "<info> (wlan0): IP6 addrconf timed out or failed". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot system 2. ping (any address) -- or -- any network operation 3. Actual Results: kernel panic
we need to see the trace from the panic to be able to do anything with this. what wireless hardware ?
Created attachment 570812 [details] Sample trace from a panic
An item that may be significant that I just noticed in the log for vmlinuz-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64, the original kernel, not the one that panics. There is no such message in the log for vmlinuz-3.2.7-1.fc16.x86_64, the kernel that panics === Mar 3 09:28:41 duke /usr/sbin/irqbalance: WARNING: MSI interrupts found in /proc/interrupts Mar 3 09:28:41 duke /usr/sbin/irqbalance: But none found in sysfs, you need to update your kernel Mar 3 09:28:41 duke /usr/sbin/irqbalance: Until then, IRQs will be improperly classified ===
