Public bug reported: I got a kernel panic, on a 24 core amd64 machine running diskless with root nfs, linux 2.6.38 (ubuntu natty 11.04), followed by a reboot since I have sysctl kernel.panic with a non-zero value and watchdog enabled. The root nfs is shared by many other machines, and this seems to have happened when running logrotate; I've since remove this package . See the attachment for the kernel log.
