Hi,

Our firewall has been crashing a lot recently; it had
been working fine for months. We replaced it with another
machine but the problem remains. So it is definitely not a hardware
issue. The crashes are very random. The machine would run
for weeks without any crash but then will crash 10-15
times in a day. 

ksymoops indicates that the crash always occurs at
the same function (_free_pages) and instruction 
(lock decl 0x14(%ecx)). ksymoops output is attached.

The machine has minimal software on it. It only runs:
sshd, crond, klogd, mingetty, syslogd, apart from kernel 
daemons and init. It uses iptables for NAT.

Info about the machine:
  Distribution: Red Hat 7.1
  Kernel: 2.4.2-2smp

 The two PCs that were used: Dell Dimension L667r, and DigiLink.
  Processor: Pentium III
  Memory: 128MB

Can anyone tell us what the problem is.
Plese let me know if you need more information.

Thank you.
  
- vasu

ksymoops 2.4.0 on i686 2.4.2-2smp.  Options used
     -V (default)
     -k /proc/ksyms (default)
     -l /proc/modules (default)
     -o /lib/modules/2.4.2-2smp/ (default)
     -m /boot/System.map-2.4.2-2smp (default)

Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information.  I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc.  ksymoops -h explains the options.
