To: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 22 Feb 2005 18:53:12.0473 (UTC) FILETIME=[C2498890:01C5190F] Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org To all whom it may concern: I am having trouble with several of the 2.6 kernels. The last one is the one that is perhaps most annoying. I have a dual Opteron based NFS server that keeps crashing when I try to boot up with 2.6.11-rc4. The node is trying to boot from an mptbase device, and it is also loading modules for a qlogic fiber card (module is qla2300, qla2xxx, and the scsi_transport_fc). Now, as it is scanning the drives, it does a perfect impersonation of a dying duck and crashes. Here is the output from the crash:' Fusion MPT base driver 3.01.18 Loading scsi_modCopyright (c) 1999-2004 LSI Logic Corporation .ko module Loadmptbase: Initiating ioc0 bringup ing sd_mod.ko module Loading mptbase.ko module ioc0: 53C1030: Capabilities={Initiator} Unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000000000025b0 RIP: {vmalloc_fault+557} PGD 821ad067 PUD 2c50067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 0 Modules linked in: mptbase sd_mod scsi_mod Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.11-rc4 RIP: 0010:[] {vmalloc_fault+557} RSP: 0000:ffffffff80455230 EFLAGS: 00010212 RAX: 00000000000fe050 RBX: 0000000000000001 RCX: 0000000000000018 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 03fffffffffff000 RDI: 00003fffffffffff RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: ffff8100fba3c000 R09: 00000000fba3c000 R10: 0000000000000008 R11: ffff810081b44760 R12: ffffffff80455338 R13: 0000000000000003 R14: ffffc20000000044 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffffffff804c1800(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0018 ES: 0018 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00000000000025b0 CR3: 0000000002c58000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 Process swapper (pid: 0, threadinfo ffffffff804c8000, task ffffffff80358380) Stack: ffffffff801207ce 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 ffffffff80455278 ffffffff80358380 ffffffff80455338 ffffffff80317933 0000000000000000 0000000b0000000e 0000000000000082 Call Trace: {do_page_fault+238} {autoremove _wake_function+9} {__wake_up_common+67} {error_exit+0} {:mptbase:mpt_interrupt+45} {update_wall_ time+9} {handle_IRQ_event+44} {__do_IRQ+222} {do_IRQ+66} {ret_from_intr+0} {thread_return+42} {default_idle+0 } {default_idle+36} {cpu_idle+58} {start_kernel+416} {x86_64_start_kernel+4 04} Code: 48 2b 82 b0 25 00 00 48 8d 34 c5 00 00 00 00 48 29 c6 48 8b RIP {vmalloc_fault+557} RSP CR2: 00000000000025b0 <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! Has anyone seen this in this kernel? 2.6.7 - 2.6.10 has not had a problem booting, but there has been other problems that are forcing us to move up to a newer kernel (2.6.7 has stability issues, 2.6.9 had some interesting issues with our IBM servers and USB keyboards (complete lockups), and I had problems with kswapd on 2.6.7 - 2.6.10). Thanks for any help you may be able to shed on this problem. Please CC me. I was on the kernel list, but I think my company has blocked that email due to the volume of the traffic. Norman Weathers
