| sub526 | Hello all, my Ubuntu 16.04 machine crashes with “Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception” and Netconsole crash log Call Trace has these two entries entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath() and SyS_access(). Full log is here: https://pastebin.com/1agpFE38, any idea what could be the reason for the crash? | 00:45 |
|---|---|---|
| tomreyn | kernel taints G + O, "externally-built (“out-of-tree”) module was loaded" - which ones? | 00:53 |
| tomreyn | ah, dbg and osab | 00:54 |
| tomreyn | so what's osab? | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | sub526: ^ | 00:56 |
| tomreyn | also, regular support for 16.04 ends in 2 months - just in case you're not aware (i assume you have to support it for longer?) | 00:57 |
| sub526 | tomreyn : Its OS abstraction layer out-of-tree kernel module | 00:57 |
| sarnold | tomreyn: the kernel hasn't been updated in four years, support's probably not a big deal :) hehe | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | the only similarily sounding ones i can find online are abbreviated as OSAL (by NASA) and OAL (HVV Embedded). I assume the OSAB you're using is something proprietary? | 01:01 |
| sub526 | tomreyn : Yes, OSAB is proprietary kernel module.. | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | oh yes, pretty old indeed | 01:02 |
| tomreyn | does it happen with a current kernel image? | 01:02 |
| sub526 | tomreyn : current kernel image means? | 01:03 |
| tomreyn | yopu were running a kernel image versioned 4.4.0-66-generic #87-Ubuntu | 01:03 |
| tomreyn | https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=xenial-updates&exact=1&keywords=linux-image-generic | 01:04 |
| sub526 | Yes, it crashes with 4.4.0-66-generic | 01:04 |
| tomreyn | is the current version for xenial (16.04.x) | 01:04 |
| tomreyn | so 4.4.0-201-generic #207 | 01:05 |
| sub526 | I'm having Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS and "uname -r" shows 4.4.0-66-generic | 01:05 |
| tomreyn | yes, outdated | 01:05 |
| tomreyn | (and unsupported) | 01:06 |
| tomreyn | !uptodate | 01:07 |
| ubot5 | To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. | 01:07 |
| tomreyn | current point release is 16.04.7, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes | 01:08 |
| sub526 | ubot5: what is the difference between 'apt upgrade' and 'apt full-upgrade' | 01:13 |
| ubot5 | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:13 |
| tomreyn | full-upgrade (apt-get(8)) | 01:18 |
| tomreyn | full-upgrade performs the function of upgrade but will remove currently installed packages if this is needed to upgrade the system as a whole. | 01:18 |
| tomreyn | sub526: ^ | 01:19 |
| tomreyn | general (volunteer) support is availbale in channel #ubuntu | 01:19 |
