Description ferdinand.goldmann 2019-01-02 09:30:42 UTC

I have a syslog-ng server running in a VM on ESXi 6.7. Recently I experienced a rather unexplicable kernel panic:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode

I was running syslog-ng before on hardware (non-virtualized) and this never happened so far.

I believe this is fixed by r340734, which was merged to stable/11 in r340904.  At the moment there is no workaround other than upgrading to 12.0 or manually patching the kernel.  I'll see if we can get this fixed in 11.2 with the next batch of ENs.

This is now fixed in 11.2 with r342899.
