Created attachment 604880 [details] Picture of the call trace Description of problem: System crashes due to a NULL pointer dereference when trying to reboot it. The faulty address seems to point to the sunrpc module, if I am not mistaken: IP: [<ffffffffa00f6391>] rpc_create+0x401/0x540 [sunrpc] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux Kernel 3.5.1 (64 bits) How reproducible: I have experienced this twice in the last 5~6 reboots. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot from GDM login screen Actual results: System does not reboot, but changing to a text console a BUG report can be seen. Additional info: System has recently been PreUpgraded from F16 to F17 (no issues during the upgrade). There are some NFS mounts and it uses NIS to authenticate too. (attached a picture of the call trace)
cc'ing Stanislav since this looks like it might be related to his namespace changes.
Looks like this is the same problem that Stanislav pushed a patch upsteam for earlier in the week. Closing as a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 830862 ***
