Package: linux-image-2.6.18-6-k7 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch1 Severity: normal
I've a crypted reiserfs filesystem mounted on /home, but instead of throwing an error message, the kernel crashed. The crash occurred when I launched Thunderbird. The panic message is not on syslog, so I took a photo of the console and copied it. I don't know how to get the full error message on a file, and I don't know what information is useful. I can reproduce this bug by launching Thunderbird with the corrupted home filesystem. To have this trace, I launched Thunderbird from a tty. The error was longer than the console. On the error there is this trace (note that I didn't copy the addresses because I manually copied the screen): Process: icedove-bin (pid: 3398, ti:c6a0e000 task:e74a9000 task.ti: c6a0e000) Stack: (24 addresses that I didn't copy) Call Trace: run_timer_softirq __do_softirq+0x5a/0xbb do_softirq+0x36/0x3a apic_timer_interrupt+0x1f/0x24 _mmx_memcpy+0x84/0x128 leaf_copy_items_entirely [reiserfs] leaf_move_items [reiserfs] leaf_shift_left [reiserfs] do_balance [reiserfs] __find_get_block search_by_key [reiserfs] __getblk __bread get_neighbors [reiserfs] reiserfs_prepare_for_journal [reiserfs] fix_nodes [reiserfs] reiserfs_insert_item [reiserfs] indirect2direct [reiserfs] reiserfs_cut_from_item [reiserfs] pathrelse [reiserfs] inode_setattr reiserfs_do_truncate [reiserfs] reiserfs_truncate_file [reiserfs] do_journal_begin_r [reiserfs] reiserfs_file_release+0x35a/0x37a [reiserfs] __fput+0x8a/0x13f filp_close+0x4e/0x54 sysenter_past_esp+0x56/0x79 Code: Bad EIP value.
