Public bug reported: Kernel oops occurs randomly every now and then, seemingly when running memory-intensive processes (so far, it happened to me when using bowtie2 or STAR).
Running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on AWS EC2 instances (m4.* and c4.* family classes). After the error occurs, the server stays accessible through SSH, but the commands w, htop, ps (and maybe others) seem to hang, while commands like ls, cd, top and others keep working. Whatever process was running and (probably) caused the crash seems to go into a sleeping mode. Rebooting (sudo reboot) makes the instance refuse all connections (more than an hour after initiating the reboot). Stopping the (AWS EC2) instance and starting again makes the instance function normally again. Restarting the task that was running when the instance crashed on the newly (re)started instance usually works with no more problems. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-oops ** Attachment added: "Dmseg, lspci, uname and version info" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813018/+attachment/5231741/+files/ubuntu_kernel_oops.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813018 Title: Kernel Oops - unable to handle kernel paging request; RIP is at wait_migrate_huge_page+0x51/0x70 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Kernel oops occurs randomly every now and then, seemingly when running memory-intensive processes (so far, it happened to me when using bowtie2 or STAR).
