8.04 - kernel 2.6.24-18 up to 21 : domU crash with java

[Jean-Luc Renard]

Binary package hint: linux-image-xen

Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

Package : linux-image-2.6.24-18-xen (2.6.24-18.32) up to 26.24-21-xen (2.6.24-21.43)

I have a zimbra server running in a domU over Ubuntu 8.04.
I use kernel from 2.6.24-18.32 for dom0 and DomU up to 2.6.24-21.43.
The higher level is the kernel, the most frequent is the issue.

After some time running (from 18h up to 36h), the following kernel error occur :

....

I have read in other lists that it has been identified as a kernel bug in debian and should be fixed in 2.6.27-rc5.
is it fixed or scheduled to be fixed in 8.04 release ? Or does somebody have a workaround ?

Regards,

[Bohuslav Blin (bohuslav)]

Same problem. I run 8.04 on Dom0 and 6.06.2 with Zimbra on DomU.

This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the linux package.

Hi Jean-Luc,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 300031

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
