I've first seen the bug in Debian Lenny with Debian's patched Linux 2.6. Now I've just installed Linux 2.6.26.8 (UML) and seen a different behavior: SCTP: Hash tables configured (established 512 bind 512) BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!

I always had both systems running with the same Linux Version. But this shouldn't be the problem should it? It's always the same ICMP message I get from the remote host. I did the test with Debian Lenny running inside VMware as well but didn't test inside KVM. I couldn't reproduce the bug in live systems but I did only one quick test there. I'll give that a try and let you know - but it might take me a while. Michael -----Original Message----- From: Vlad Yasevich [mailto:vladislav.yasevich@xxxxxx] Sent: Mittwoch, 30.

So you were able to reproduce this with 2.6.26 kernel? How do you test? Do you just try to call connect() in a loop? I run under KVM with a connect() call in a tight loop and see not issues. My ICMP sender is an Ubuntu Jaunty (2.6.28-15-generic) kernel. Looking at the stack trace you posted, the failure happens here: if (!asoc->temp) { >>> list_del(&asoc->asocs); The addresses look very weird to. Can reproduce this with live systems, or KVM?
