(fwd) Message-ID: <22640000.1074293061@flay> X-Mailer: Mulberry/2.1.2 (Linux/x86) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1893 Summary: running Mozilla's update routine causes kernel oops, reliably! Kernel Version: 2.6.1 Status: NEW Severity: normal Owner: acme@conectiva.com.br Submitter: alangrimes@starpower.net Distribution: N/A, _VERY_ old installation, mostly a source distro at this point in time. Hardware Environment: Athlon SMP, 1gb of ECC ram, (ECC enabled). Software Environment: ppp 2.4.1, mozilla. Problem Description: updating mozilla causes dialup connection to drop + kernel oops, Steps to reproduce: 1. I beleive that this is a SMP related bug related to the recient preemptive kernel enhancements... 2. it might be in either the kernel "softirq.c" file or the ppp driver, I don't know which. 3. I'm using wvdial to dial the modem. 4. I run, in the mozilla source directory, "gmake client.mk checkout" as per the instructions. This command runs a while then stalls. 5. soon thereafter I get a "peer not responding" error in the wvdial window associated with this kernel oops: Badness in local_bh_enable at kernel/softirq.c:121 Call Trace: [] local_bh_enable+0x8c/0x90 [] ppp_async_push+0xb9/0x1a0 [] ppp_asynctty_wakeup+0x2e/0x70 [] uart_flush_buffer+0x84/0x90 [] do_tty_hangup+0x40e/0x4b0 [] disassociate_ctty+0x64/0x210 [] do_exit+0x2b4/0x450 [] do_group_exit+0x42/0xe0 [] syscall_call+0x7/0xb 6. this problem is extremely reproducable. 7. versions: bash-2.05$ ver_linux If some fields are empty or look unusual you may have an old version.
