Bug 86982 – sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r4 causes kernel Oops

• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nuno Alexandre 2005-03-28 08:09:31 UTC]

I upgraded linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 to version 2.6.8.1-r4 and issued "emerged glibc" after the linux-headers compile finished.

However the compilation never finished, a closer look at dmesg reveled the kernel Oops. ( attached )



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge sync
2.emerge linux-headers
3. emerge glibc

Actual Results:  
computer hangs/ kernel Oops


Expected Results:  
:)

can't attach the file afterall, it turns out after a reboot, the file where I echoed the dmsg output turned 0byte. empty.

[Comment 2 Carlos Silva (RETIRED) 2005-03-30 12:23:00 UTC]

Can you please try the linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 version?

[Comment 3 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-04-13 09:16:00 UTC]

Going to need to see the oops to investigate this. After saving dmesg to a file, run "sync" before rebooting - that might help.

Im using another kernel now, and 2005.0 profile and upgraded a bunch of packages.
unfortually it seems that the time when a bug is reported to the time where a dev gives some feedback is increasing overall.
I think it might create a false percentage in the 'bug solved' reports.
looks like the project is in need of more(alot more) people(devs) :>

Anyways, ive marked it closed, because I dont feel like downgrading packages to test something that was broken can't se when.

lets move along, nothing to see here.
