Need Real Name
2006-07-14 20:19:05 UTC
Same for kernel-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5. Am currently using 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5. Same for new kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5. First bit of error: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 printing eip: f8829551 *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0002[#1] last sysfs file: /block/ram0/removable Modules linked in: sata_promise libata sd_mod scsi_mod [snip] EIP: 0060:[<f8829551>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010202 (2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 #1) EIP is at pdc_sata_scr_write+0x12/0x16 [sata_promise] [snip] Process insmod [..] A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you. Nope. Still broken, and the FC6 kernel is broken too. I get a message: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000008 printing eip: This looks pretty much like a bug :! I think bugzilla is a bit broken. I ticked the "am supplying the requested info" box, but the bug is still stuck on NEEDINFO.. IBM person: please can you reply using bugzilla, otherwise your e-mail replies get hidden. If you look at the history for this bug, you will see that the bug did _not_ change from NEEDINFO when I supplied the information. Instead, it switched from NEEDINFO when I reported this oddity. There's a lot of traffic about "users not upgrading the kernels, so that they can use binary kernel modules, etc. etc". I'd really *REALLY* like to upgrade my kernel to something above 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 but I can't until this bug is fixed. I can't upgrade to FC6, because I get the same problem.
