*Please review the following and indicate:*
- Whether my assumptions might be correct
- Whether or not there could be or has been any modifications to the http
module
*Symptom:*
Occasionally, not consistently, Grub2 throws a "alloc magic is broken"
error.
*Setup:*
Grub2.02~beta2 network booting with config file
Config file script uses 'source' to get default menu selection information
over http
source (http,${pxe_default_server})${sourceScriptPathString}
*Suspected issue:*
HTTP module may have bad packet grabbing code?
*Tests:*
- Continually reboot the machine till the error appears with current script.
- Continually reboot the machine with the 'source' call removed.
*Test Results:*
With 'source' call as above:
- Failure to boot */* Successful boots: 1/33, 1/142, 1/27
Without 'source' call as above:
- Failure to boot */* Successful boots: 0 / 205
*Results Analysis:*
It appears to me that the http module may have something flaky going on.
