[Bug 233126] New: Occasional kernel panic
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233126 Summary: Occasional kernel panic Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: win@huber-und-boehm.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Hi there, I run a fully patched OpenSuSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default, and get occasional kernel crashs. The machine seems to be frozen afterward - no ping answer. Can't figure out any action that causes the crash. Uptime varies from minutes to days. Crashs occurs by night (idle machine), on editing, browsing, ... To get more info about this I attached a serial console. I attach the crash message below. More crash logs to follow :-(( Specs: Hardware: Asus P5AD2 Premium, Pentium 4 3.2 GHz SATA: 3 discs, DVD Plextor PX-712A IDE: DVD Plextor PX-716A SCSI: Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter, DAT+Exabyte tape USB: some hubs, HP 970cxi Printer, ext. HP DAT-72 tape, all switched off additional sound card + TV card I suspected the not supported Fritz Card USB kernel modules ... fcusb-kmp-default-0.1_2.6.18.2_34-0.i586.rpm and fcusb2-kmp-default-0.1_2.6.18.2_34-0.i586.rpm .. so I deinstalled them and disconnected the Fritz!Card USB - HylaFax is down now :-( But this did not help. The machine still crashs. Right after booting the taint value is 64 - can't figure out which kernel module taints my kernel. I looked for kernel modules lacking the "supported: yes" tag and found bt878, hwmon, it821x and w83627ehf. But they are part of the kernel package, not any weird modules. So I think the kernel should be clean. After the crash more tainted flags are set. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and I will be glad to provide more info as needed.

From the looks of your first oops, it crashed in the first loop in kernel/sched.c:rebalance_tick() -- scale went to 0, which seems to be impossible (but let me know if it crashes there again).
Your second crash is somewhere different, so this could point towards a hardware error, or maybe a random memory scribble.

Two weeks ago I hoped the system got more stable and looked for recently installed patches. The only one I could imagine to be the reason was hal. But this did not hold. Following your suggestion I added maxcpus=1 to ny kernel cmd line. The system still crashs, uptime is about 24..60 hours. So I abandoned maxcpus=1 after the last crash (this morning), No more crash logs because I need the only serial interface for an old fax modem I recently disinterred. - would more crash logs be useful? - should I uploat boot.msg (kernel log level boosted)?

Unfortunately no crash log on the serial console, and sysrq did not work either. So I was unable to get any information what was going wrong. Maybe this is related to a sky2 driver issue - occasionally one of my 2 Marvell onboard networks is down - can't ping any device attached to this ring, e.g. thin clients. Running ... "rcnetwork down; rmmod sky2; modprobe sky2;rcnetwork start" .. solves this problem, no reboot needed. The thin clients are back to work, no need to log in, the X11 session is still running, no work is lost. But this problem is rare (maybe once a week).

Today I grabbed 2.6.20.4 and managed to get it running reasonable. Due to fiddling the kernel hacking config options I guess this crash log is much better. Note: I get complaints about missing modules: ip6tables_filter, ip6tables_mangle and dm_mod. But the firewal is OK, including NAT. Did not figure out which config options are missing yet.

Could you perhaps go back to that kernel version for a few days and check if it still runs stable? That's just to verify you don't have a weird hardware problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233126 ------- Comment #44 from win@huber-und-boehm.de 2007-05-15 16:31 MST ------- Hi Andreas, the machine was stable running 9.2. Could not get 10.0 and 10.1 up, 10.0 did not install (hanging on gathering info), and 10.1 suffered from serious network problems. I needed to downgrade to 9.2. Downgrading back to 9.2 would be a problem for me. Luckily my wife is at home all the time and can reboot the machine as needed. So booting over and over is the minor hassle. As this seems to be a problem just for me I tend to believe in obscure hardware problems, too. I replaced piece for piece, memory, graphics card, kicked my SCSI controller out and so on. Did not help. I plan to rebuild the machine, new motherboard, new CPU now. I hope this will solve the problem. I will report. I was not able to do this earlier, no bucks... I was seriously ill and could not earn any money for more than one year. Not an easy situation for a freelancer. I will report as soon as I am able to provide reliable info; I want to see the machine run for a week or so before I shout "hurray!!". The status remains "NEEDINFO" ...

I rebuilt the machine, new ... MB Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi P965 S775 and CPU Intel Core2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz .. and the machine is as stable as a rock (one week now). Smaller problems remain, can't get the second onboard GB LAN to fly, but this is not a real problem for me, and I guess this will be solved with 10.3 Guess we can't tell if this is was really broken hardware or a unfortunately instable combination of components, MB/Bios Version/CPU/other components. Anyway. I am happy now, and I apologize for the bad headache I have given to you, perhaps chasing a spurious hardware problem. I really enjoy the pleasures of Unix/Linux now, months without a second unplanned down time (OK, don't count the (very rare) power fails, and my new motherboard can be configured as "boot on power back"). Would you please be so kind to assign an appropriate new state to this ticket? I'm not sure wich state I should assign, FIXED, INVALID or WORKSFORME.

Please don't apologize for reporting your problems, you were really helpful and persistent in testing which is one of the most valuable things we have in the Linux community. I'm just sorry we couldn't work out what the problem was. Anyway, regarding your other problems like onboard LAN, you should report that too when you have time (if 10.3 does not solve it). I'll close this as invalid, as we might assume it is a hardware problem.
