Bug Analysis Of RHBZ #1337

Posted by Alexander Todorov on Mon 02 September 2013

In my previous post I asked the readers of this blog to pick a bug number from Red Hat's Bugzilla so I can analyze it later.

Radoslav Georgiev decided to step up and selected the Leet bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1337

This is a rather old bug against kernel, in particular against the token ring driver. There isn't much info on the bug but it seems the issue is hardware dependent and doesn't reproduce reliably.

Looking at the bug status and history it looks like it was closed without fixing it. Most likely the reason for this was there was no hardware to test, bug was not reproduced and no customers were seeing the issue or were willing to test and work with devel!

If you'd like to see my comments on other interesting bugs just post a link to them in the comments section.
