In reaction to your original query I tried 1.3.81 on my Gentoo installation at home (amd64, gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r6 which corresponds to kernel.org 2.6.11.6, no SMP, no CONFIG_PREEMPT) and got reproducible kernel oopses when mounting /afs . Apparently a null pointer reference while acquiring afs_global_lock in afs_linux_open(). The fault was at default_wait_function+0, if memory serves. Could also have been in lock_kernel(), except I got the impression that lock_kernel() is a no-op on uniprocessor builds. Has this been seen by others? Perhaps even fixed already? _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
