Hi,
I filed a bug report back in June and wondered if any progress has been made in identifying the problem? Also what does the error message mean "Badness in interruptible_sleep_on_timeout at kernel/sched.c"? i.e. What does "Badness" mean?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=127018
------ Getting the following trace on the console of a freshly installed Fedora Core 2 box.
Badness in interruptible_sleep_on_timeout at kernel/sched.c:2533 [<02281cc0>] interruptible_sleep_on_timeout+0x5d/0xb1 [<02115e4e>] default_wake_function+0x0/0xc [<02239cd5>] netdev_run_todo+0x22/0x1ac [<06881d8f>] rtl8139_thread+0x38/0x134 [8139too] [<06881d57>] rtl8139_thread+0x0/0x134 [8139too] [<021041d9>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xb
I already upgraded from the stock kernel from the CD distribution.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.131 kernel-2.6.6-1.435
How reproducible:
Every minute. Every time I boot.
I have googled/searched bugzilla and found a couple of similar issues but these were for a different module and different versions and I did not think they were appropriate. These were for #116864 and #125482.
Do I need to upgrade the kernel further. If so where would I find such a kernel? ------
Thanks
Nick
Hi,
I have since upgraded the kernel to kernel-2.6.8-1.521 and I still get the notice up on the console.

Any more ideas anyone? Or can people point me to a place to look for information? Do I need to get in contact with the kernel developers at all?
TIA
Nick
