Hello!
Has anyone seen this netfilter kernel crash?
Images from the console of the crashed firewall: http://pasik.reaktio.net/centos5-kernel-crash/
Firewall is HP DL360 G4 server running CentOS 5.x 32 bit.
I've seen this firewall crashing multiple times, but I only started
investigating it lately..
It has happened using CentOS 5.0, 5.1 and now also with 5.2. I'm not sure
if
it was the same bug earlier, but at least the last two times (with CentOS
5.2)
it has been the same, see screenshots.
Last lines of the console output:
EIP: [<f8af2c5c>] __ip_ct_refresh_acct+0xa1/0x129 [ip_conntrack] SS:ESP
0068:c0724e4c
<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
At the moment firewall is running CentOS 5.2, Linux kernel
2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.centos.plus.
Any tips how to resolve this?
Take a look here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=433661
Looks like a test kernel is available....
We've been having this problem for quite some time - actually moved our production box to RHEL 4.x
