Kernel panic during boot or runtime because of a third party 'scdrv' module
Issue
-
After patching the system to RHEL 6.9 or RHEL 6.10, the kernel panics when booting from the latest kernel:
sch_place_binfmt_hooks+0x5d/0xc0 [scdrv]
-
This issue happens right after 'initializing non-interactive startup' when init propagates during the boot process and eventually, the system halts due to a kernel panic.
