Kernel Panic [2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp] not-syncing: Fatal exception

[lehels]

WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.9.0-R118
CentOS 4.4 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

Console:

"Process quotaoff ..
Stack: ..
Call trace:
Code:
Fatal exception: panic in 5 seconds
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception "

There was no load, the server hasn't crashed long time ago,

Please check out the attached picture.

Which would be the Recomended KERNEL?
Appearently we have problems with: 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp and 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp

Looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205001

There's a test kernel package you can test. Red Hat is aware of it and should be fixed in the next release.

I hate to get way off topic but it's kind of ironic that your monitor says SyncMaster and your error is about syncing...

hi

I had this problem today too, I posted a screenshot in other thread http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread.php?t=63233

Is there a manually solution to this?
I read that one person said of running quotaoff -a will fix it but i dont know if you will be able to control disk space and mailbox space after running it.

thanks

Turning qutoa off is ignoring the issue. Its a bug in the kernel that can only be fixed by using a different kernel. You can use one of the test kernels here http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/RPMS.kernel/ or you can downgrade to a previous kernel, maybe 2.6.9-42.0.1 or .42 won't have the problem.

So the problem is registered only with this ones 2.6.9-42.0.2.EL and 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL, right?

So if I use 2.6.9-42.EL i wouldnt have the issue anymore?

Thanks

I'v got the same problem with the 2.6.9-42.0.8.EL kernel on RedHat ES 4 :/
Trying a test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/RPMS.kernel/ now, but I't is kind of spookie.

I didn't have any problems when I was running .42, so I would suspect you should be ok.

You have really one of 2 choices.

1. Run beta kernel from above URL
2. Run previous kernel (likely .42 was the last one not effected)

I'm doing #2 on the majority of my servers.
