Hello,
I've been running F12/rawhide from a preupgrade from F11 for a couple
weeks now. I've just recently noticed the abrt feature. I started
submitting the bugs it found in the kerneloops. Which has me wondering
couple things.
#1 - I have many many kerneloops, each stacktrace/log snippet seems
fairly identical. I assume you would prefer not to get 20 identical abrt
submitted bugs? Or should I submit them all?
#2 - When looking at the trace it has the following line(s):
Nov 10 09:15:57 iridium kernel: WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:30
__list_add+0x68/0x81() (Tainted: G W )
...
Nov 10 09:15:57 iridium kernel: Pid: 2197, comm: Xorg Tainted: G
W 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 #1
I'm wondering why it is saying it is tainted.. or maybe Tainted: G mean
Good?? I don't have any closed source modules loaded as far as I know.
Unless Virtualbox is closed source but I didn't think it was. Virtualbox
isn't running when this happens, though the module seems to be loaded.
If you have an oops or BUG of any sort, I think that sets the taint flag
for further oops reports, because after the first one you can't really
trust that the stacktrace or internal kernel structures aren't
corrupted. Most of the time they aren't, but you simply can't trust
that. So I'd expect the first one to be untainted, and then subsequent
oops reports to have the taint flag set.
Of course if you start loading random kernel modules that didn't come
with the kernel itself, you can also taint the kernel. If you have
staging drivers loaded, you'll have the taint_crap flag set because
staging drivers are crap.

Thanks, just rying to do my part without burying you guys in senseless
bug reports.
ABRT's kerneloops plugin had some problems with false alarms, this
should be fixed in the next release (this week).
