Package: open-iscsi Version: 2.0.730-1etch1 Severity: important I attempted to use open-iscsi to log in to an iSCSI target (a Dell MD3000i) attached to my system, and when I logged in the server became unresponsive from the network and console. When I rebooted and tried again from the console, I was able to see the symptoms of the crash before the system became unresponsive. This was the error (retyped from a camera-phone snapshot):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.1984-05.com.dell:powervault.6001e4f0001997780000000047b6abe6 --portal 10.101.152.12:3260 --login scsi1 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP Vendor: DELL Model: MD3000i Rev: 0670 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: udevd[3477] general protection rip:2b3df16cadca rsp:7fffb9689d08 error:0 udevd[1426] general protection rip:4044ccf rsp:7fffb9693cb0 error:0 Here are all the relevant log entries I could find from the session where this crash occurred. The interface with the iSCSI target connected to it was _not_ up when the session started, so I upped the interface and then attempted to login again.

I'm going to keep investigating (including trying to log in from a sid system); if I learn anything more about specific elements of the configuration that may have caused this error, I'll send them along. This is a production server, though, so I'll have to tread a little carefully, and I'll certainly have to wait until some downtime is available before continuing to investigate on this server.
