What hang is this? I am having issues with SMP and video capture where I get a kernel oops, and a statement to the effect that the kernel killed the interrupt handler.
Hi
I have noticed that Fedora testkernel and Arjans kernels does not have prelinking enabled. Will it be on in final Core 2, or only for those who will recompile their kernel?

prelinking is a userspace issue, nothing to do with the kernel.

Im so sorry, i meant Preemptible..
Is that going to be enabled in default Fedora core 2 kernel???

No. There has been some discussion about enabling it for a while during the beta cycle in order to show up some races that may be hiding, but for production, we feel it just isn't ready.

We mishandled PDEATHSIG, probably not something that you'll see in practice, as this would've shown up a lot sooner. The crashes you are seeing are likely something else. Care to post the oops to bugzilla some time ?

Sure. Gotta capture it first, since it doesn't get syslogged. Just shows on console. But I'm going to rebuild everything for the latest kernel; the one on this box is fairly old.

Do you think this will help with the smp kernel hangs during umount in:

Unlikely. as mentioned above PDEATHSIG is not something that's very common (which is why it went unfixed for so long).
Early indications seem to suggest this is still a problem for some folks. It's odd that not everyone sees it.

It's intermittent even for those of us who do see it. Probably some kind of race condition.
