Kdump kernel (the 2nd kernel) sometimes hungs up.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • This problem occurs once every 15 times when vmcore is gathered on PRIMEQUEST 1800E.

  • And, the environment in which this problem occurs uses "Legacy Boot"  (conventional BIOS) to avoid another problem.

  • At present, this problem has not been reproduced on other machines.

  • Additionally, the phenomena occurred so far only on Intel64. I have not confirmed whether this phenomena occurs on x86.
  • Here's log

  • The above-mentioned message is displayed and the system hangs up. And the last message displayed before hang-up differs each time the problem occurs.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 Beta 2

  • x86_64

  • 2.6.32-37.el6.x86_64
  • This phenomena has so far occurred only on PRIMEQUEST 1800E.
